Classic banking pose, superb IQ and the fish is a big bonus especially as it faces us.

[Lorant Voros]

Indeed nice IQ, great pose and good eye contact both from the tern and fish. Looking forward to read the review. TFS.

Pin sharp and about the perfect flight pose.....

[Satish Ranadive]

Marvellous flight shot with excellent IQ. Superb colours with fine details, great HA, lovely fish and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Great image Arash...no complaints on this one. Love the banking pose with splayed out tail feathers showing how it turns. The fish and tern both have good eye contact and head angles!!

Very nice as usual. The pose and IQ are spot on, great work Arash. Even the fish looks as though it is alive (maybe it is) :w3

Lovely image, Arash. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ari, I like these diagonal flight poses across the frame. Tack sharp, and the fish, eye first, is an added bonus.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose, comp and details, Arash. One heck of an image.

[Karen Pleasant]

Just want to join the chorus exalting the fine qualities of this image! So very well done! The diagonal pose, sharpness and fine detail throughout are excellent. TFS!

[nick clayton]

Brilliant pose, wing angle, lighting and I like the angled tail. The feather detail is superb, the fish in the beak just tops it of Arash.

[Michael Hansen]

Beautiful image, for sure! I really like the details and the colors. Also looking forward to the review, as I'm contemplating a purchase myself. :)

Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely top notch Arash!
Is there anything that you could do to reduce the bright shine on the fish's gill raker?

Pretty much picture perfect and the fish adds interest. I might consider removal of the two highlights on the bird's front crown but I guess you are aware of them and chose to keep them in which is absolutely fine. All in all very nice work.

I have to say that there are number of factors which would attract me to this lens and if I was to upgrade it would be my first consideration. The price over here is pretty inhibitive and the lens also appears to be as rare as hen's teeth:(

Pretty astounding with the 2X TC.... a

Hey Artie, the AF with 2X III and 1D-X is sure fast and works great for flight. I love this lens

[David Salem]

Great looking frame Arash. I like the banking pose, the HA and the great look at the fish. Nice details too.

[Marina Scarr]

Killer pose and details! The fish is a nice plus.
