Just ready to take off after catching prey. (Male). Used Topaz Simplify, then photoshop blending paintbrush to soften and blend the snow, grasses and features of the Harrier.

A beauty Cindy -- sweet original, and I really like your treatment of the background grasses.

A lovely image. The wing stretch and grasses compliment each other.

So lovely! The softness is just perfect for the snow and plumage and the angelic, raised wing pose is beautifully captured.

The composition with the diagonal lines of grasses is great Cynthia, along with the raised wings and the overall softness. I really like this one.
