7D + 400 f/5.6 @ f/7.1 1/1000 sec ISO 800. sw : DPP 3.7.2 Digital Processing: Crop and NR on BG. 7D high ISO files clean up nicely.

Hope you like it.

Excellent exposure and colours on this one Arash! The landing pose and probably overcast conditions have caused the light to illuminated basically every feather, which is very very nice. In the way you have composed your image now, the subject is a little centered, maybe moving it a bit more to the right of the frame would help! Overall a beautiful shot!

stunning pose and exposure Arash - pops so nicely against the BG colour. how is the noise on ISO 800 on the 7D? if you don't need to crop much, do you still need to apply a lot of NR?

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose, light, sharpness and setting. Maybe a slight crop off the right?

Super white detail and contrast against the colour of the background! Excellent pose. Excellent detail. Balance of the bird is to the right already, so comp looks good to me. I like this a lot!

Thanks a lot guys.

--> Morkel, if the subject is 50% of the frame or larger with good exposure you don't need NR on the subject just the BG like this shot.

Arash, This is lovely. The BG is so nice and the Snowy looks fantastic. I like the pose and the very nice wing details.Great exposure on this. Another vote for a small slice off the right.Congrats!!

This is sweet Arash I love the angle of capture and the surrounding habitat is beautiful.

Arash: Beautiful wing position, nicely captured with good plumage exposure and detail. Love the way the white Snowy stands out against the colorful BG.

Lovely catch Arash, liked the way in which you captured it (one of those fine moments). Congrats!!

Very good landing action Arash. I like the light a lot and the beautiful reddish background. The yellows in the face and in the legs are a nice addition of color :-)
