That is an awesome shot of a harrier in flight! However, I see you chose to shoot it at 500mm and focus on the face and not zoom out to try to get the whole bird. Which is exactly what one would have had to do with the 500mm prime. So one needs to adjust to the limitations of one's equipment and sometimes, even being prepared, a shot is just not possible. The other day a white-tailed kite landed so close to us we could hear the moose squeak when the kite caught it. However it was in tail grass so there was no way to get a pic.
Thank you so much for your kind compliment. I am so glad you liked the image.
I did get the entire bird at 500mm. In the last post, I wrote: “This image is significantly cropped.”.
The fact that it held up so good is credit to the D850’s 8000+ mpx (long side) files.
Thank you for viewing it.

Great shot of the Harrier! One of my nemesis birds (along with Kingfishers)... always so close but yet so far... or they just surprise you when you aren't ready for them, like this one I took just a few hours ago. These would not hold up to any more cropping and honestly I wouldn't have posted it other then it's timely talking about Harriers
What are you invisible? You come up with the greatest shoots. These two may be the best Harrier shots I’ve seen (at least). It looks like it is close. Wow! I am envious. Back to the drawing board.
