Have liked both of these shots Bob,but with the 'look' on this one it is the better of the two for me,very nice POV and nice colours and detail :wink: :wink: :wavey:

When its as good as this you only need one... is this 60% of the original or have you cropped 60% off?

Hi Bob

Well caught.

If the rest of the habitat in the full-frame version is similar to that presented here, it seems a shame not to go for an animal-in-habitat shot. Just a thought.

Cheers,
Chris

Worth every minute spent waiting. The bird has a very determined look. Nice even lighting on the bird too.

Hi Bob

Lovely image - I know this is the hardest of the harrier species to get good images of!

another cracking environment shot - well worth the wait - I can't decide which of the two I like best - they both have something different. Well seen and captured

cheers

great shot, spent some time in Harrier country last wk end, none came anything like this close so know how hard they are to do

Absolutely worth the wait. Only seen one before and at great distance.
