Northern Harrier, My First

[Loi Nguyen]

So, finally I got a decent image of a Northern Harrier, thanks to David Salem for taking me to his location. There are a couple of them here during winter.

Beautiful sharp body with great details.

Very nice, Loi! I like everything except the wing position causing the shadowed underwing.

I like the HA and the BG, I also wish the under wings were not in the shade, a downstroke would be ideal here.

the image is noisy too, especially in the underwings and the tail area. You need more work in post processing department

Thank you Jima nd Arash. Agreed with your comments regarding the shadow. Next time will try without the shadow.

Arash, thank you for your feedback on the noise. I'm using LR5 and did try to reduce the noise underwing a little. Just switched over from PC to MAC and can't seem to down load DPP. Every time it tells me the imgae dis has been damaged and can't be installed. Tried to get help from the Canon folks with no success. Not sure what the real issue is. Loi
