You lookin' at me?
iso 800, f8, 1600th sec, 500mm plus 1.4 telextender, D700, about 20% of original frame. I am guessing this is a Northern Harrier? Thanks for comments.

Yep - Northern Harrier. Nice shot! I agree with Jesse's comment re: sharpness.

I agree David, this one is probably not as sharp as you hoped, but given the lens and crop he must have been pretty high. I do like the eye contact and gliding pose.

I bet something can be done about the sharpness, its worth the work...love the angle plus the clear blue bg

Yes, I agree with Rick about the sharpness– that it can probably be fixed up. Good grief, for the amount that was cropped away, and considering your lens array, I'm amazed at the image quality. I'm enjoying my D700, too, David. I think it is such an incredible machine. Great shot.
