Harrier in flight

[Doug Brown]

This will be my last photo post before my Costa Rica trip. Two weeks with the big lens in one of my favorite places in the world to photograph birds and other wildlife. This photo was taken in Utah a few weeks ago. The harriers were abundant and I got some of my best harrier photos yet.



Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm + 1.4x, f/8, 1/2000, ISO 400, manual exposure, no flash, tripod

Beautiful flight image !
Love the background and the eye contact !

Seems a little tight at the top.
Maybe move the bird down in the frame just a smidgen for my taste.

Like the wings and exposure. The BG adds a lot to your image.

Wow, has almost a 3D look to the bird. Very nice.

The Cloudys and sky bring out the bird nicely but the eye contact is riviting!!
