    Arash sweet, sharp shot of this Harrier, I've yet to make it out to Dave's "secret spot" for some raptor heaven.

    Great image Arash. The head angle/eye contact is perfect. The contorted preening pose adds interest to the perched image. Background is nice but would have preferred a single colour or at least the division line not through the head.

    P.S. Are you still planning an article on the 5D4?

    Awesome shot. Great IQ, tack focus, feather detail, clear eye, beautiful BG, all working together here.

    Another beauty, with great pose. The background works very nicely for me.

    Super quality image details clearly present in the darkest and lightest plumage. Really an eye catching pose and I like the feather on the tip of the bill.
    I guess the crop is minimal (?).
    I have no suggestions on improvement, it is a super shot. The only thing I might consider is perhaps toning down the left leg and foot and the tip of the perch. I don't think they are overexposed but wonder if they may look slightly better if a little less bright?
    I am curious to find out how you rate the 5DIV for image quality compared to the 1DX and also in terms of overall performance as a wildlife photographer's camera.

    Great shot Arash, very highly detailed with great sharpness front to back on the feathers. Glad you went home with a some keepers

    It's all been said Ari and in the words of Tina Turner "simply the best". Like Jonathan I look forward to reading your thoughts on these two cameras for wildlife photography.

    What a great quick encounter we had with this lady. Love the preening pose and the BG colors. Great details from the 5D.
    Went out today and she is still sitting in her same old spot. Hope to see her back on this perch again. See ya soon
    Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
    P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.
