    Default Female Northern Harrier (juvenile) with prey

    This is a juvenile harrier with her catch. Sorry if it is a bit graphic!

    That's a lovely image Arash!
    Great light and colours, nice behaviour captured and your fantastic techs! Maybe a bit big in the frame but I can see why you have decided to crop out some of the bush.

    As said, great light and colors, sharp as always! When I grow up, I want to be like most of the photographers here on BPN. Beautiful image.

    Haha, Old enough to not be able to say "when I grow up..." anymore. It was just a humorous way of complimenting you and all the photographers here on BPN that do such an excellent job. A better way of saying it might have been "when I mature as a photographer..." I am always amazed at the quality images posted by so many here on this forum. I have much to learn and so I thank everyone who shares their images and knowledge. It was meant as a compliment and I hope it wasn't taken any other way.

    Beautiful image with great light and detail captured. I might take a bit off the right side , just to move the subject off center a bit.

    Great exposure, sharpness and a wonderful overall image. Love the colors!

    If it were mine, I would crop out the branch protruding from behind her back.

    When harriers catch voles up here, they perch what seems like a half mile away all of the time :(

    Hi Arash, good eye contact, and like how she is showing off her catch to you. I like the pose, detail and colours, and overall, nice and sharp too. I dont mind the busy tree where she has perched, but would maybe remove the two small branches 'coming out' of her back. You certainly have a lot of raptors in your files. Im jealous.

    Superb IQ and love the detail and soft colors. The OOF BG behind the branches is great. I would also like to see the 2 twigs behind the back out and a bit cropped off the right hand side jut past that vertical branch on the right, also add a bit on the top (for my tatse) I feel strange giving these ideas as im a Big fan of your work, but just adding my thoughts

    Super image, Arash. My only minor nit is the two small branches coming out of the back of the bird.
    I would clone them out if it were mine.
