    That one hour span sure did make up for an otherwise not-so-spectacular week Jim! This Harrier looks like it could stand a bit more sharpening. The wing position and eye contact make placement of the bird in the center of the frame appropriate here IMO.

    Pretty cool. I like the pose. I like the eye contact and the that you get to see the underside details of the birds right wing and the the top side of the left. Placement in frame works for me. I also like the gray background. Thanks for sharing.

    Love this one, nice light and BG, Love the head on angle and colors and great eye contact. I think you could sharpen the eyes a little and would improve this already great image. Congrats

    As always a great shot. I like the light and the head turn. I agree with Brian on sharpening the eyes a bit.

    A dead-on stare combined with a dark lead-blue sky. Great combo. Agree with a bit more sharpening on the bird.
