Male Harrier

[arash_hazeghi]

This is a male harrier (aka the grey ghost) from HMB, CA. taken last fall. These are very skittish raptors, I got one pass only. Hope you like it

1DX 600 II + 1.4X III f/5.6 1/3200sec ISO 1000 handheld.

Beautiful image - great background and killer head turn. Half Moon Bay continues to be your best work site.

[Frank Schauf]

It doesn't get any better than this shot, perfect!

[Grace Scalzo]

That look back head turn is perfect. Also love the bit of incuded habitat. Such a hard bird to photograph and yours image is over the top.

[Gabriela Plesea]

What a great pose you have captured, Sir! As always, beautiful light and perfection in every way - I enjoy your photography, tremendously.

Kind regards,

Arash your work gives us lesser mortals something to aim for, can't think you could get it any better than this excellent shot.

Very nice Arash, head angle makes it.

[Barry Ekstrand]

Outstanding shot, wonderful pose. Congratulations on another winner!

Another terrific shot, Arash. The fact that he was just past you shows his signature white rump to advantage, and is more than compensated by the great head turn. Also love the sense of habitat. As you noted, you don't get many changes with these guys.

The looking back is perfect, so is the background and down wing position.

[Rob Melone]

What's not to like. The head turn, piercing eye, down wing position and extended legs/feet all add to the complimentary light and bg.

[Eric Dienesch]

i`m really fascinated, great work !!

Greetings Eric
