As I shot at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge here in New York City, I witnessed this female Northern Harrier flying along the edge of the West Pond hunting. This allowed me to photograph her in different light and with varying backgrounds.
Comments and suggestions welcome,

Excellent, Morris!
I love that first image, but I would suggest pulling up the shadows on the bird a bit to show more feather detail. Regardless, it's a wonderful capture!

Thank you Greg,
I'm a huge fan of contrast as it adds pop to an image.
