Another nice shot from your trip. Nice looking pose and wing position and the exposure and details look great. Well done Arash

[Martin Dunn]

Neat shot.
Good in flight shot with nice wing spread.
The detail on the plumage is terrific although there does seem to be some loss of detail on the white tail feathers.
The eagle is nicely highlighted against the background which also has an interesting texture.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent flight pose and sharp details.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Excellent exposure. Love the raised wings and the separation from the background, it gives the image a 3D effect.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Regal bird and pose! Beautiful details. Awesome BG with appealing colours, but I would maybe blend out the pale vertical line touching the belly (and the one in front of the bill).

[Marina Scarr]

I just love how your PP skills make your eagles pop right off of the page, esp with this amazing BG environment. I also like the stray feather.

[Dan Busby]

Love the perfect "V" and the approach angle. Although there is good detail in the bird there is a mystical soft feel to the image. I can't tell what it is exactly but the tip of the bill seems to have a feather protruding and is slightly distracting me. Maybe just my eyes.

I second what Daniel said.

[Dan Busby]

Yes, that's a better look Arash. I can now better see what has attracted my attention - there is a very small "something" - perhaps a small piece of feather from the neck behind the beak - that breaks the smooth, outer forward line of the beak, just above the hook. I don't intend to be picky but my eyes DO see something there that breaks the normally-smooth, clean curve of the beak.

the only thing I can think of is water drop or ice.
