Happy Thanksgiving to you! Sandy.

I really like this for the subtle strength of composition, soft light, wing extension and typical hunting behavior in pleasing setting. Thumbs up!

Really like the way you kept Harriers habitat and the poised for the capture image of her as she hovers just above it all.to me it tells me the whole story of how they hunt.

Great habitat shot and perfectly composed. I like the small bit of water showing through the reeds. :toast:

Love seeing a harrier doing what it does within its environment. The foggy/gloomy setting adds a lot to the mood.

Perfect behavioral shot of the harrier and overall an excellent image. Love the foggy, early morning feeling. Nicely done.
