Another cracking shot, Arash. Not only is the lighting superb but the background complements the colours of the bird so well.

Sweet shot, Aresh. Your usual fine techs. BG looks a little magenta to me, but you were there, so I'm guessing that's what it looked like. (What is the BG? What time of day?)

[Joseph Przybyla]

Lovely image, Arash. I see the magenta Bill mentions in the background but not on the bird or perch, so most likely the color of the background. Thank you for sharing.

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks all, the BG was a distant hill and the colors are natural. I see some posterization from JPEG but there isn't much i can do about it

best

I Know that back ground and its gorgeous. She's very beautiful and she might have a blind eye on her left side. We had a very helpful female last Nov. down there, but she seemed to do all her best work with the left side facing us.
This girl was settling down for the evening maybe. Ruffed up a bit and lovely.

Those hills make for a great backdrop, very nice processing, not to mention getting exposure "spot on" at time of capture

[David Salem]

Great lookin frame of this little beauty Arash. Hard to beat that colorful BG.
Details and colors look really clean too. Can't wait for next winter, hope it doesn't rain as much.
See ya soon

Wonderful image Arash,

I really like the placement of subject in the frame. Background compliments the subject well and there's such lovely detail on this pretty bird. Love the silky appearance of those feathers.

A well exposed frame skilfully processed - always a pleasure to view your images!

Kind regards,
