Harrier Dive

[arash_hazeghi]

This is a young female northern harrier. The juvenile females have dark eyes which eventually turns bright yellow as they age. The rusty iris indicates a young bird




Shot with EOS 1D-X EF 600mm f/4 IS II + Extender 1.4X III. f/5.6 1/2500sec ISO 3200. hand held. Processed with DPP4.

Great pose with the topside showing well on this female and I love the HA with the Killer eye contact. Exposure and details look perfect and your high ISO processing shines as always.
Im really liking these late evening shots as they add another dimension to these type of shots. Well done Arash

This is one of the best harrier flight shots I've seen here. Love that subtle light and the raptor against the dark BG. Looks as though she's checking you out with that HA.

A splendid image! The colors complement one another, and the details hit the mark with a fabulous wing spread. I love Harriers.

Ok ....enough work for me, I need to get down to the river tomorrow and take some photos
