Excellent shot Dan! One I would be very happy with. I'm very jealous of these harrier frames. There are extremely few good shots of our european equivalent.
I think the strongest feature of this frame is the beautiful background, both showing depth and layers whilst not competing for attention with the bird. Grey and blue go very well together here.
Bird looks good too, nice wing position, exposure and details. I might try to reduce the highlights on the tail and bring out some more details there. A small headturn would have been nice but not much you could do about that.
You are giving Arash a run for his money with this fab frame of the harrier.
Love the color of the BG.Really compliments the harrier well.
Great wing position and HA.
No nits from me!

"You are giving Arash a run for his money with this fab frame of the harrier."
Thanks Gail, but not quite, his Harriers are always looking at him, I shot 450 frames yesterday of
this guy, a lot of good ones, but
Only in ONE frame did the Gray Ghost look at me!
Killer BG. Nice downstroke and fanned tail towards us. HA is ok. These guys so rarely look over at you, despite being skittish -- I've never really wrapped my head around that one. TFS
