I like this shot. How did you achieve the bokeh with f/8? I suppose it was the extreme focal length. I have found the Norhtern Harrier hard to get shots of, or not as easy as the red-shouldered and red-tailed hawks. What adds to the quality is the background. With raptors, we get so many blue sky backgrounds that just don't give it the pop that eye level backgrounds do, such as this great shot. #840449
