Hi Myer,
This is a good record shot of the action taking place in the natural habitat. From a compositional stand point, I would have liked to have seen the entire deer with feet and all, not cut...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

[Myer Bornstein]

Gus so wouldn't I like the whole deer. I was concentrating the the harrier who was leaving after attaching an immature red-tailed hawk and was trying for a decent picture of the harrier. The deer was just there :D

[Harold Davis]

i wouldnt put it pass the harrier for trying!! those raptors are tough!!!! i like the way the processing turned out here.. for another compo, i would crop out the deer and add some canvas up top. did you get the redtail attack?

[Myer Bornstein]

The attach went behind a bush and was way out of focus I tried

Harold
here is the photo with your sugestions. I am going to try an other one by cutting out the deer and replacing it with one that has its feet on the ground. wish me luck never tried this before :)

[Harold Davis]

i really like that, myer!! nice job with the birdscape:)

[Myer Bornstein]

Harold
Thanks :D

nice wing position and open beak! I would try to do a tighter vertical crop to concentrate more on the harrier.

[Myer Bornstein]

Thanks everyone for suggestions they are appreciated

Hi Myer Prefer the bird only or .... if you would have gone vertical with the deer in frame !!! Neat capture, a keeper in my book !!!

Hi - repost is on the money for me - so much stronger without the deer (seeing as it was not all in the frame)
