Colossal has a selection of photos of predatory birds taken by Mark Harvey — prints are available in his shop.

Shot with his signature style that applies a hearty dose of drama to the already striking creatures, the photos are shot one at a time in a slow, medium format. "Lighting is a key aspect of my work to help draw out fresh views of well-known subjects, and these birds are no exception, set within an intricate lighting setup to ultimately show the birds in a new light," Harvey shares. "With their wings spread wide, these top avian predators' beauty is put on full display."

Those are just a couple of the shots of birds in the air from Mark Harvey's In Flight series. I love that top photo — I don't know if those feathers are translucent or if it just appears that way because of the sky color. You can see more of Harvey's photography on his website, at Instagram, and at Colossal.
