Another beautiful image from you Kiran. I like the lighting sharpness and position of the harrier. I like the

few strands of grass that are in focus. Very nice.

Fantastic image Kiran, you have a way with your raptors! I love the grasses along the bottom.

P.S. Of course the pano crop is OK!

Tack sharp Kiranbhai, and very well timed to capture this pose. The overall detail is superb.

This is just awesome...I love the colors and the IQ is top class, and grass really works nicely in this image....

Sooper stuff , Kiran !!

Kiran:

Lovely bird, great techs, like the grasses, colors.

Interesting from a comp standpoint because of the wings going one way the the head cranked around the other way. I think the current comp is very effective, but if you have canvas on the sides, might for my own amusement try a bit more on the right, with a balancing crop from left.

Superb as posted.

Cheers

Randy

Breathtaking shot Kiran. Top notch all around. Love the colours, contrast and the most awesome pose. The sense of habitat tops this one right off IMO. Do you give raptor photography workshops??? You should!
