Willet in spot light

[arash_hazeghi]

Not quite as unique as Doug's frame with the fish but I like how this one stands out against the BG.

1D4 700mm f/5.6 1/3200sec ISO 800

Magnificent image.Wonderful lights.Great flight pose ,beautiful dark BG and great details. Love shades of brown colors.

Wow, that light really is like a spotlight. Mindbendingly good image, the bird just pops so beautifully against the dark BG. Great wing position.
cant wait to see what you do with the new 600mm.

Great image Arash! I like the wing position, lighting, IQ and dark BG.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Another stunner. Love the dark BG against the beautifully lit subject.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Doesn't get much better, Arash. You and Doug have been knocking it out of the ball park.
The 3D effect with the interesting light and the dark BG are just stunning. Comp, IQ and exposure are excellent.
Looking forward to the 600 in your hands!

[Luis Villablanca]

Excellent picture as posted Arash. I love the wing position, soft light and clean dark background.
The large version has more room around the bird. Is that the uncropped image?

[James Fuller]

Awesome...love the light and IQ here is fantastic.

[Alan Murphy]

Sweet light and eye contact.

Hey Luis, the large version has been cropped by about 40% area.
