Marsh Harrier

NIKON D800,700mm,f/7.1,1/2500,ISO1000

Interesting Framing to the image, i like the foliage kept in the frame that gives the height the bird is flying
The bird looking directly into the frame makes it very interesting

Uri, nice BIF capture, eyes look sharp. Looks to me the underwing is a bit dark and to my eyes the crop is a bit tight. The foliage gives a nice scale of height for the bird.

Uri,

Very nice incoming pose and stare. I agree that the foliage adds to the image.

I see a very dominant green cast on the underwings of the bird, possibly due to the foliage?

Hi it's a nice image but are you sure it's a marsh harrier as it looks like a black kite ? .

I like the incoming pose and placement of the bird within the frame. I'd consider applying a bit of gaussian blur to the foliage, and lose the tiny detached bit of it at left. I also agree with the green cast under the wings and tail. I like the pleasing colour you have to the sky...

This is a very nice flight pose of a male Marsh Harrier. Males are far more difficult to find than females. I like the incoming pose and eye contact. I also see the green cast at the underwings.

I like the eye contact, composition and pose. Some good suggestions above. Green cast already mentioned. Nice image Uri.
