Arash:

Well timed, almost looks like he is balancing on one foot. Good colors, composition and exposure. Well done with that focal length hand held.

Happy New Year to you as well.

Lovely take-off shot at perfect angle, great background. 600x2, HH, is a feat I would love to be able to do. Wishing you all the best for 2018.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Beautiful moment captured, Arash. like that every part of the Kestrel is fully extended.

Hope you have a Happy New Year as well.

Geoffrey

What's not to like here - very nice work and handheld too. All the best for 2018 to you as well.

Happy New Year Arash! Awesome image, I like the one-footed grip. I'd be tempted to remove the detached "V" branch, but man yet another impressive bird of prey image.

Love the vibrant colors and the take-off pose. HH at 1200mm! You are indeed a sick (and very talented) man.

with love, artie
