Northern Harrier

D4, 500mm, 1/2500 @ F5.6, 1/3EV, ISO800

Taken a few days ago on one of our usual dark and dingy days which accounts for the grey BG

The raptor actually pops quite nicely against your grey BG. Love that pose and you did a great job exposing to get all the details in the underpinnings. This is a very pleasing image.

Roy, this is a beautiful image of a Northern Harrier. The dark day helps with exposing the underside wings, well done!

I like the wing position and details. Nice image Roy!

I like the soft light and the resulting underwing detail. You were about one second late.....

Nice colour and lovely details on the underside!

Love the image design. Nice light and pose. I wish the head was a bit sharper.

This is very nice.
Good IQ and underwing details.
I think this would look nice as a vertical

Hi Roy, love the full wingspread, good choice of EC to show up the underwings, and overall nice and sharp. I would try a vertical version with this inflight pose. :w3

I love the view of the underwing patterns. I find the bird looks great against the "dingy" grey BG!
