Congratulations on getting one, even if a bit far. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to catch them. Keep trying and sooner or later you'll be in the right place and time. Colors and wing spread look good, and I like the sky.

I like the flight pose and HA on the bird. Very nice BG. But, I think there is too much of a crop, and the details on the bird are suffering because of this.

Nice flight pose, complimentary sky adds to the image. I agree with Will that you are probably pushing the crop. Now that you have this one time spent will reward you with a closer Harrier to photograph. Thank you for sharing, Alex.

Congratulations on getting this shot. I would have been excited to get this shot. Even though you may have been a bit far away from the subject, I like a lot of the elements captured: 1) the Sun seems to have been low and behind you 2) the Harrier is looking at you 3) the Harrier seems to be flying relatively low in the sky (closer to your eye level) 4) the BG is very pleasing and 5) I even like the slight blur at the bottom of the wings showing implying movement.
I would try to follow this bird around a bit to figure out what he is hunting and where he is eating it. If there is a regular routine to the feeding pattern, you may be able to get closer. I'm looking forward to see what you find.

My favorite part of this image is that beautiful sky. Great light as well.
Since the IQ on the bird is suffering slightly because of the large crop and you have a great BG sky, I would try playing with a looser crop and go for a "small in the frame" theme.
I think it would look very nice,
Gail
