That must be a heck of a rewarding experience to get images like these - super shots well done.
Nice closeup, too large in the frame for me.... needs some space to fly into..

Well, you've got this rig singing for you... Curious what AF case and settings have you settled on for flight? Love them both with slightly more saturated my favorite. TFS
Beautiful. Man, you are going to give Arash a run for his money if you keep these up.
Ohhh so sweet must be chasing Santa’s sleigh
this is excellent Brian
love the sharpness and colors look wonderful
Excellent image Brian! No nits from me, just wish she flew by my camera also. Can you please send her my way? LOL But seriously, nice work!
I'd be OK with a bit more room too, but still find it good as posted. Sweet light, and about as high up a wing position you'll get with a harrier simply going on by its business flying-by. Perhaps a touch dark on the shadow on the base of the far wing, IMO anyways. You've really got a hold on these harriers - they want nothing to do with any photographer up here, except for the once-in-a-while opportunity. Keep'em up!
Hi Brian another cool frame of yours , albeit not being a duck.
Not knowing the coloration of this species , so I say I like the overall color palette !!!
I think the image can stand I tiny bit more sharpening , at very low radius .
By now knowing your contrast route, will not open the blacks theme
.
Cool to get this kinda shot , well done .

Jon, I can tell you Harriers have caused much heartache for me through the years but this family has been very gracious to me. Thank you.
Dan, I can see a version with more to the right. Thanks.
David, appreciate that. I have been toggling between horizontal zone AF and AF + AED (auto). My choice is partly dependent upon the contrast of the eye vs the body, in which the higher contrast does better with AED usually. This particular frame was zone.
John, he is one of the GOATS. To be compared is an honor. Thank you!!!
Haha you know he doesn't have a red nose but I bet he could help good 'ol Rudolph ;-p Thank you Ann for the comments.
Kurt, haha no doubt. I think this is a juvenile male based on the yellow eye and orange chest plumage but I'll gladly send him over! Thank you
Dan, comments received thank you. Great point on the shadow, I will give them a lift on the next go round.
