Hi Arash,
Nice details on the bird and I like the take off pose. Well captured. I might consider removing the green blob below the bird. A fine image either way.

Looks great at ISO 3200 and what looks like low light. Nice pose on the bird with a good head angle. Well done.

Great take off pose, and I like the environment in the shot. The feathers dont have the same detail you normally produce, almost as if there was some NR done on the bird. What is the blurred dark area on the right of the head and the beak?

Thanks Mike, the details look great on my 4K NEC. Harriers have tiny feathers around their beak what you see are those tiny feathers.

Great shot. However, I don’t see the sharpness that I usually see in your work. Especially on the eye. Would you atribute that to the lens/tc combination or the lighting conditions?

Hi Jon, nope the TC and lens are tack sharp. Canon TC's have no impact on sharpness. I think it's the monitor differences in this case, if you have anything other than a 4K/5K screen this image may not look as sharp. I don't optimize my files for the older monitors anymore...

cheers

BTW, this was the last frame I took with my Canon gear. It's all gone now and converted to the dark side :D

Arash, looks sharp to me, nice wing position, HA, catchlight and BG.
Maybe delete the distracting greenery under the aft wing.

I think we all look forward to see what you create with the new gear.
