Northern Harrier

I got eleven sharp shots from this male harriers fly-by and some of them had what I thought were better wing positions than this but they didn't have direct eye contact.

When I posted a different image of this bird back in January there was some discussion of whether or not I had selectively brightened or added saturation to the eyes. I didn't, in either image. I do wish I hadn't had to crop so much (didn't use the TC) but with this background and wing position this is the best compromise I could come up with.

7D, 1/2000, f/8, ISO 500, 500 f/4, shot from pickup window on 1/10/10, reduced overall exposure in ACR, cropped to 40% of original image, sharpened bird, no additional processing or adjustments, natural light, not baited
