I haven't even looked at mine yet but this juve Red-tail looks awesome. The light angle and head angle are perfect. Look at that catchlight, low and dead center of the eye. Details look great and I really like the BG colors. Glad you got some nice frames on your trip down here.

Beautiful individual bathing in the golden light. Hard not to like it. Top notch quality shot and I especially like the general brownish color all over the image. Nice work.

A lovely image, Arash. The lighting offsets the colour of the bird's plumage and the colour of the background keeps continuity. And the sharpness and detail is as good as ever

A fine shot of this beautiful Red-tail in lovely light. Thanks to David for pointing out this is a juvie. I didn't realize that the Western juvies had that much red.

Beautiful light and details on the bird. Can't really get much better than this. Background is perfect. My only thought is the perch. I might try a version with some clockwise rotation to make the bottom portion vertical.

Fantastic. Wonderful pose, colors and background.
