Perfect comp and light, nice work.

Excellent. I like the interaction with the juvenile. I think that the brighter background area behind the bird's left wing might assist if it can be toned down a touch to give the image a bit more impact. But still a fine image as is.

The light is stunning.
I like the feathers in the tree- shows this is a favorite perch.
I might clone out the stray feather on the left hand side.
The whites in the wings are perfectly exposed and show wonderful detail.
I wouldn't mind a sliver more room on the right if you have it.

Nice landing pose in some great light. Excellent sharpness as always. The second WTK is a nice bonus in the frame.

[Nick Palmieri]

Very nice interaction. IQ awesome as usual.

[Grace Scalzo]

Superb capture with lots of interest. Agree that a bit more on the right side would add balance.

[Jeroen Stel]

Lovely shot of these two beautiful birds interacting!
Well done!

greetings,

Amazing shot - I really enjoy seeing the adult and juvenile together in the tree. Great light and pose, great processing - you ought to think about writing a book or two. :) Congratulations on another outstanding result.

Beautiful image and awesome PP. I really like the landing pose and the intense eye.

sweet light I love how the young one is looking at the parent

[Don Nelson]

Great light and super capture, as usual.
Presume this is late/early in the day as the shadow angle says its not on camera flash (or do you setup lightstands with pocketwizards ;-)

Arash, love this sequence of WTK, sweet light, perfect details and sharpness, great pose of both the parent and juvenile. It was great of you to find a nest and was able to capture these sweet images at eye level.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the light, incoming pose, details, exposure, sharpness and BG. Excellent image Arash!

[Mike Tracy]

Excellent image quality as usual. A little more room on the right for me and the one stub of a branch below the landing kite adds nothing and for me keeps catching my eye.

Thanks everyone
