I love this picture because it is sharp, colorful and the fact that the harrier has eye contact.

Nice earth tones in the bird and it is a very good composition. Perhaps toning down the lower wing's brightness by about 5-10% to bring out its color a bit more vs. the upper wing?

On another note what lens combo is 700 mm (I guess 500 f/4 + 1.4TC) or is it a zoom?

Love the pose Arash. Good exposure and sharpness. Prey is a bonus. Well done.

Sharp with killer underwing detail and dramatic pose. I only wish that the bird itself were not angled slightly away from you. I would however, be thrilled to have this one in my files.

Do you know what the prey item is?

Thanks everyone,

Artie, prey was a vole (or what was left of it).

Superb light under the bird and perfect angle of flight
