Northern Harrier
Lately I been attempting more fly shots than usual, love the challenge. This species has prove particular difficult to get any close shots, at least to me. I watched two Norther Harriers for almost three hours in Viera wetlands flying around, and trying to figure the flying patterns, but I was not able to predict which spot they will fly close by.
1DMKII, 500mm f/4
1/2000, F7.1, ISO 200, Hand held, large crop
Viera wetlands @ 3/27/08

Like the diagonal composition. Would lighten face and underwings a little. Not sure about the crop but 3:2 doesn't seem to work for me here - how about 5:4?
Nice pose and angle. Maybe a bit more sharpening.
Thanks for recommendations, I replaced the original with the repost, the original is attached to this post for comparison.
Confusing posting and re-posting; I was trying to figure out who the heck was talking about what... IAC, I like the image at the top best. You did well in spite of the bird flying away from the light.

Sorry for the confusion, I just wanted to remove the original image from the thumbnail, it did look awful on the thumbnail, not that it looked any better on the full size.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
