A Friday Harrier

[Doug Brown]

Here's another Bosque frame from last year that I discovered the other day and decided to process. I sure hope that Harrier shows up again this year! I performed a little cleanup work at the bottom of the frame.



Canon 1D Mark IV, 600mm + 1.4x, f/7.1, 1/2500, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

A warm, beautiful image Doug.
You just found it?
If that were mine it would have been framed and put on my wall the day after I took it.

Beautiful image Doug! I agree with Dan I would have ran home and processed this immediately! I like the lighting, sharpness, BG, composition and 3D effect.

[Doug Brown]

Kind of surprising that I passed this one over, but it's true!

[Robert Hardy]

simply stunning .

Excellent sweet warm light & IQ, Like the wing position & BG.

Doug, great wing position, HA, lighting and detail. I love northern harriers and their eyes. The only nit is that I wish the BG in front of the bird was the BG throughout the image. Minor nit, beautiful shot. I hope you get your wish this year at Bosque. TFS.

Doug,

Great image, I have done the same as you endless times

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful image Doug!! Nice pose, and excellent BG. I love discovering new images from my files...I just discovered a 6 year old file that I never processed before and I don't know why I didn't! Anyhow, back to your image...an IOTW candidate if you were eligible

You mean I'm not eligible???

Beautiful bird, light, pose, SH, and BKGR. It's great to find those old gems that we missed the first time around.

[Ofer Levy]

A fine image! Would crop off the top to move the bird a bit higher in the frame.
