That's a nice headturn. Nice to get the wing up, looks very sharp!

Very nice flight shot. There's a minor processing halo around the harrier that is barely noticeable as posted but can be revealed by using a threshold layer and scrolling the slider from 188 to 192.

Nice head turn, and a nice flight shot, theses Harriers have always been a challenge for me. Good work.

Nice raptor flight shot. I really like the contrast between the coppery color of the harrier and the beautiful blue sky.

Excellent harrier shot Angela, these are not easy to get, I like the slight head turn to give you the eye contact, well done.
