Nice setting David, the larger image looks nice. Good details, sweet light and complimenting tones in the image. I
would be tempted to crop the image just a tad bit from the top.

Thanks for the input Gaurav and the croping suggestion.
I cropped this a bit higher than I normally would because I wanted her to have some more space to look into. Not sure if it needed it but that was my thinking.
Thanks again

Great stuff as per your usual standard David. I like the curious over the shoulder look as he is eyeing the harrier.
Thanks for looking,

David, what a soulful 'in the moment' presentation!  Love the spare comp, natural setting, gentle light and the super sweet BG.  She looks so beautiful with all the layered feather details - very well done.

Isn't she beautiful. I love Kestrels, my favourite small raptor.

A lovely story telling image David, great pose and sweet light on the complimentary colour tones.
