Making A Mess (Harrier)

[John Blumenkamp]

Lots of cold weather and gray skies lately, so the light wasn't terrific on the harriers I found this afternoon here in northern Utah. I stilll enjoyed watching the feathers fly as this particular harrier kept plucking away (off and on) for about an hour or so.

Like the way the bird(live one) stands out with its own color. The overcast sky reflection works well IMO. Super catch....wish you better weather soon

seems a bit magenta to me

Nice image. Dave's rework removed the color cast.

Thanks Dave... corrected the color cast on the master.

Like the image with the magenta cast removed. Great action. Really tells a story.
