Once again - incredible shot.
little white dot on his/her right wing draws my eye.
fantastic eye, talons

[PhilCook]

A lot to like, love the tail spread and stare one this one arash and I'm rather drawn by the talon shadow on the tail...in a good way

[vishaljadhav]

Impressive all the way, the wing spread with such amazing exposure , perfectly sharp and classically composed
I guess this would be the perfect flight image, as the eyes are also perfectly on view
Would like to put this one as a fantabulous Image

Super shot Arash ;)

[Loi Nguyen]

Arash, I see what you meant by having fine details! For me, the details on the head of the bird were the first I noticed, then the eye, and then the rest. No shadow, nice soft BG. You show us that not only technique matter, but field craft as well. Please keep them coming.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Techs, processing look top-notch. Awesome BG and pose.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely quality. You are one of those photographers who set a really nice high standard for so many of us to strive for. Good for you.
If you clone, I would take out that little white spot on top of right wing. I noticed it on larger file size.

[Don Lacy]

Love the pose Arash the HD file is stunning.

[Nick Palmieri]

Really nice flight capture! Love it.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose, bg, light and sharpness, Arash. I especially like the shadow of the talon on the fanned tail! Superb.

[David Salem]

The light is perfectly covering the Kite. Techs look right on and great detail, especially in the HD version . Well done. How many clutches did your kites have last year? Going to a Kite spot this weekend down here. Thanks in advance

thanks David, there were maybe as many as 25 kites last year. I was there last month and did not see even one :( they usually migrate after newborns learn to hunt...


thanks everyone
