When I looked at the HD version I thought "how does he do this?"
The bird looks so real and 3 dimensional.
So much rich detail in the feathers and so tack sharp.
Excellent in all respects,
Gail

Beautiful late evening light on this one Arash, I hope to shoot these fantastic birds one day.

Great angle and wing position as well as excellent sharpness and detail, Arash.

[Ofer Levy]

The big version is mind blowing!!!!!!!!!:Whoa!:

[Grace Scalzo]

Superb in all respects. Perfect exposure really allows the bird to pop.

Amazing picture, beautiful light and exposure. Very nice!

Hi Arash, excellent exposure, and you have nailed the sharpness. I like the flying posture, nicely separated from the water BG, and love how the orange of the bill and legs pop.

[Frank Schauf]

Very nice flight pose and details.

[Chris Kotze]

Superb image, excellent IQ, flight angle and super colours
