Taken this shot in Tello, North East of Tehran.
The light is harsh, but I like it.

Beautiful bird with a good profile pose, and a nice complimentary BG. I wish the subject was higher in the frame, and there seems to be some evidence of cloning in front of the perch.

This light is not bad. The image and the bird are beautiful. The BKGR is sweet, sweet, sweet. Pose and head angle are right on. Which 400?

You're right Daniel. I will try to fix it.



Which 400?

400 2.8 IS Type I
