    Default Harrier Flyby

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken at the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve in Newport Beach, CA last February. I would have liked a better wing angle (to show more of the head), but I was happy to get such a close shot of this bird (this is about a 50% crop).

    Canon 7D with the 400mm f/5.6 lens. Manual; f/8; 1/1600sec; ISO 800.

    Standard PP, except I improved the originally-bland sky color using a Selective Color adjustment layer.

    Thanks for looking,

    John

    John, I dont see it blurred...infact looks very sharp and nice. Excellent dorsal view, details and exposure.

    John, very nice "topside" view. I think (may have) seen the same bird there on more than one occasion, but never that close up . . . It looks a little blurred to me, as well.

    Looks great to me. Sharp and well exposed. Nice head angle also. I really like the top view, nice capture.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Something's definitely wrong on my end. When I view the image within the thread using either Firefox or Safari, it is about 1/3 smaller than the original image I uploaded and definitely fuzzy. The image I uploaded is 1001 pixels x 800 pixels (H x V) and 127kB. The posted image is definitely smaller than that when I view it in the thread.

    Not sure what's going on.

    The image look sharp here too. My only wish is that the near wing were angled down to present a nice dorsal view. I am pretty sure that this is a youngster.

    This image is now displaying properly (as of Sunday night, 10/24). The forum image size problem has been fixed (see this thread: Image Size Problem).
