I love how those little feet are peeking out back there as well as the flying dirt left behind. Great look at those wings as well. Another very nice shot Arash.

Excellent banking angle Arash, sharp and well exposed. I like the trailing droplets from the feet. These guys are not easy to capture in flight, so you have captured an amazing flight pose here.

When do the classes begin Arash?
An amazing photo, the head turn and the body position is just perfect.

Another fine image, topped off by those water droplets which are icing on the cake. Perhaps a book in your future? "Shorebirds in Flight".
