    Default African Marsh Harrier

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Canon 7D
    F4 500mm + 1.4x
    Taken in Namibia on Caprivi strip at 8:29 AM
    Overcast with high cloud
    ISO 640
    SS 1/1600
    f 5.6
    This is full frame and I added to the canvas below by using the next frame. I also added a sliver of canvas on the left.
    I really struggled with the colors in this shot. The harrier was hovering over the grass so there was a green cast to the underwings. I fixed it as best I could. Some may feel the body is too reddish but it really is this color.
    Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
    Gail

    Morning, Gail. I'm on my work monitor, which is not great, but I believe that I still see a bit of discrepancy in the ULC. An easy fix for you, I'm sure. I love the image...the bird is beautiful, intense and sharp, the inclusion of the vegetation at the bottom adds nice balance.

    Wonderful image. I really like the flight pose, excellent detail, love the grass at the bottom, and great pp work.
    Well done.

    Hi Gail, good hovering pose and attentive stare at its next meal, and well exposed on the underwing. I like the placement of the harrier in the frame, and good to see the foliage running along the bottom of the frame too.
