Wow! Stunning shot Arash...love the pose, clarity, detail and BG. TFS

Gorgeous colors and tones. About as nice a pancake wing shot as I've seen with the downward tail and eye contact with the head fitting nicely between the wings. The tilted angle toward the lens helped a bunch.

Sharp as a tack. Really pops off the dark backdrop, what was behind it?

Another strong frame. You have just enough of the far wing to make it work. Head really pops. I'd clone the light spot on the eyebrow above the eye.

Very appealing bird, pose, BG, and tasteful processing. I did not notice that spot Dorian mentions at first, but now I cannot unsee it lol. Easy fix!
