Sushi for lunch

[Doug Brown]

I just got back from 5 days in Utah, where I got some great photo opportunities. I hope to share some of my pics with BPN in the coming weeks. Here's a female Northern Harrier having a little lunch.



Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm + 1.4x, f/8, 1/1600, ISO 400, tripod, manual exposure

Great capture Doug with wonderful detail and great lighting. Your timing was right on !!! Thanks for sharing.

[James Galletto]

Really cool shot I think she thinks she's an Eagle.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, pose and the fish adds to it. I might crop a bit off the top.

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely light and pose, Doug. Another vote for a bit off the top to get the eye on a 1/3 and lose the beige streak

[Andrew Weber]

Great shot! I agree with the previous comments to take a bit off the top, though I don't think that's absolutely necessary. I love the detail and the lighting and the fact that the bird seems to be looking right at the viewer and daring him/her to mess with the fish.....

[David Steele]

A great shot Doug, that's unanimous. I agree with all the comments and love the excellent detail.

[Arthur Morris]

Perfect for photo buyers; a crop from the top for the wall. So sharp and bright, great fish, wonderful image design. Nice pose and nice ice crystals. What's not to love? Where was this image made?

later and love, artie

ps: Were you out of the car???

[Doug Brown]

Artie, I was out of the car and the harriers let me get very close. It was the best couple of days of harrier photography that I've ever had. I guess they were hungry. Photos were taken near Layton, UT. I'll be posting more in the coming weeks once I sort through everything.

[Arthur Morris]

Out of the car! You must be living the good life!

later and love, artie

ps: How were the harriers getting the fish?

[Fabs Forns]

Amazingly sharp and great action. My all time fav bird!!!
