Love the diagonal created by the bird and the great eye contact. I might crop a little off the bottom and go for more of a pano look. Congrats on the great news!!!

Terrific stare and comp. Very simple yet powerful shot.

James, I really like this pose and the stare is awesome! Nice work as usual.

[Mike Tracy]

Awesome head on stare and the background colors compliment him well. I might toy with darkening his left leg a tad and trying to lighten the left side of his face.

I can appreciate how hard these guys are to capture, as I'm a big harrier fan. This is a beautiful image - especially love the colors and lighting. Well done!
