Northern Harrier

[Bonnie Block]

This northern harrier has claimed the fencepost as her own--she is there almost all the time.
It was a foggy overcast day.

Nice of her to perch conviniently for you! Good look-back pose. Not the best perch. I would try warming the colour temp a few degrees, and lighten the iris just a tad. Looks like sharpness has been compromised during resizing? Even your signature seems soft so I can imagine the image also suffered from this.

I like the lookback pose and BG and agree regarding perch and sharpening.

Thanks for your comments Daniel and Axel--I reworked the image. Hopefully better and retaining more details.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Yes, definitely an improvement.
