Northern Harrier Juvenile

[Doug Brown]

I just returned from a week in San Francisco with my wife, and among other things we squeezed in an afternoon of photography with Arash. This was taken at a Harrier nest, and the juvenile was just learning how to fly. It was a really fun afternoon, and the sushi and whiskey later that evening wasn't bad either!

Canon 1Dx, 600mm II + 1.4x III, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO 1000, manual exposure, hand held

Doug:

Very sharp, excellent light, nice color match in background.

Perhaps a tiny sliver tight on the right.

Cheers

Hi Doug, great light, and I like the underwing detail - well exposed. Sharpness looks good, and Im glad the bill is separated from the far wing. Love the two tone BG.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely flight pose and fun to get a fledgling. LIke the 2-tone BG. Nice light!

i love the spread wings with lovely details on the underwing
The BG is sweet, lovely one

[dankearl]

Terrific eye contact, sharpness and light.
Tough to get them looking at you, nice work.

[Morkel Erasmus]

What's not to like, Doug? Light, details, wing position...all cracking!

[Karl Egressy]

Great shooting angle, excellent sharpness and details Doug.

[Troy Lim]

Very nice image.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Super sharp with great eye contact and a nice bg too.

[PhilCook]

Angle of approach, super eye contact, clarity and sharpness is perfect Doug. Liking a lot the light tones in th9is too, warm but not overly so...backdrop to die for.

[Shawn Zierman]

Light quality is so nice! The image exudes your typical quality in regards to action stopping sharpness and details. The background is stellar. Randy has a good eye...it does feel a wee bit tight on the right hand side.

[Daniel Cadieux]

As much as the subject is something in itself, it's the BG that got my attention here...what a beauty of a frame!

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent detail and flying pose, nice eye contact.

[Doug Brown]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
