    Default Flying Marsh Harrier

    This marsh harrier flew very close to my car and I had the chance to put him in the picture. He flew just above the grass at eye level making it very beautiful.

    Menno, very nice eye contact and light. I find it a bit tight on the right side, I'd probably move him further into the frame.
    Would be cool to see the grass in the frame if you have it and if it's close enough.
    TFS.

    Menno:

    Good points from Sidharth. I would def. move him away from the right edge, might try a version with him moved down in the frame a bit as well.

    The whites on the rump look a bit overexposed.

    I like the flared primaries on the far wing. Generally dorsal views display best if their is more banking of the bird to show more of the wings, but they don't always cooperate.

    Cheers

    I really like this bird's stare, and his flight pose is different than what we normally see. You definitely need some more room on the right for my taste, and I agree that rump looks pretty hot and could stand to be burned. You did a good job getting this one sharp.
