A bold adult male Montagu’s Harrier allowed a close approach, giving me time to experiment with different compositions. After moving around the habitat, I found a gentle slope that helped achieve an eye-level perspective.

Also, why 4500k white balance? The warm tones are missing. Also, a tighter crop using rule of third would have helped distinguish the subject better.
