I post this show another approach to birds.
It could be sharper. All words welcome.
I really like the narrowed view of the focus and peering through the growth to see the avian looking back…
I’m not an avian person at all, but the larger version it almost looks like a hawk…
Regardless, the scene works nicely as it is presented…
I really like the environment that you found this bird, Steven. The reddish brown vegetation really brings out the best in the bird. @Paul_Breitkreuz is right, this is a Northern harrier and it looks like a juvenile one based on the coloration of the eyes.
In general I feel that the composition feels a little cut off on the lower right corner for me. I think having more room at the bottom and to the right will make the bird looks more “complete”.
Thank you, very kind. I’ll make the correction.
I like the window you found here Steven, and your focus is spot on the bird. If this were mine I would crop the image down from the top to just where the background sky bleeds in the frame-making for more like a 2x3 composition.
