Northern Harrier

[Alex Becker]

Hi all,

A northern harrier taken locally recently. I could evict the grass or shift the crop up but I thought they added some depth. NR in post, ~30% crop.

Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm at 500mm
Specs: 1/2000 f/5.6 ISO 2,500

Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

Nice view of this harrier. The details look good and it's nice and sharp. Nice background as well. I don't mind the grasses.

All looks good on my screen Alex, I'd definitely leave the grasses in to anchor the frame

There you go, Alex. Beautiful light and perfect timing. Great shade of grey in the background, and agree with leaving the grasses in. Well done.

I like the wing position, sharpness, setting, composition and BG. Very well done Alex.

nice pose and details, I like the grass too, typical with a harrier frame

Lovely posture, sharpness and detail. Personally I would keep the grass, I like the crop.

Thanks all, much appreciated. It's been great getting so many opportunities with these harriers this winter
