Fantastic Arash! Pose, shooting angle, light, sharpness, detail - it is all there! Mazel Tov!!

[Robert Amoruso]

Well done. Great sharpness and good fully extended up-wing position.

Vertical composition works well here. Was it created in vertical or cropped later?

Arash:

NIce full up pose, dangling feet, open bill, exposure.
Slightly oversharpened for my tastes as there are jagged edges starting to show up along the shafts of the primaries on the rear wing.

I would give a smidge more room to the right.

Cheers

Arash, super comp, and I like the raised wings. Good to see the open beak, and interesting how they curl the talons.

[Kurt Bowman]

Excellent sharpness, light, etc...

[Craig Brelsford]

Arash, there's a lot to learn from that shot. I'm studying it and enjoying it.

[Laura Stiefel]

Great stuff. Sharp bird, perfect position, perfect exposure. The only thing that would make it better would be a nice juicy fish in the talons.

[arash_hazeghi]

Thanks everybody for nice comments :)
Laura, I too wish he had a fish!

[Fabs Forns]

Very nicely exposed and processed, with great pose. As mentioned, a bit more room on right wouldn't hurt.

[Ken Lassman]

Agree with the crop needing more canvas to the right...everything else is fantastic Arash. You will be dreaming about Blue Cypress Lake for months...I went back again last week. They are still there in lesser numbers with the last of the chicks fledging....the others have headed South until next year...you will have to come back.

Arash, Wonderful details and pose. Very well done.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose, good sharpness and eye contact. Since the bird looks as if he is hanging there, I wouldn't change the composition.

[Lorant Voros]

Just love it as it is. Well done, Arash.
