Northern Harrier

Olympus E-5, 300mmx2.0TC, handheld
f10, 1/1000, ISO200

My first serious effort at flight shots, up on Windy Ridge this past summer. The E-5 isn't particularly fast-focusing with the 2X teleconverter on, and the bird wasn't close enough to shoot with the 300mm alone. My admiration for the superb flight shots posted here ratcheted up even higher.

60% of full frame. Selective sharpening to bird.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.
