It seems like the raptors are back in business. I had an opportunity to photograph kites today and the new lens really shined. I hope you like this one

Another stunner Arash. The HD version is breathtaking in its detail.
Love the BG and the take-off pose and the direct gaze. Of course, the prey in the talon is none too shabby as well!
I wish the perch wasn't so dominant as it tends to drag the eye down.
I am really happy that you are enjoying the new lens. Keep showing us the fruits of your hard work!!

Stunning work mate! The HD is out of this world!
Great capture, glad you are enjoying the new lens, its the best investment I have made, makes me smile every time I look at the shots it takes
Great action captured, super sharp and exposed
Arash - the HD version is just incredible. The stare, prey and your usual excellent techs all combine for a great image.
TFS,
Rachel
I'm with Gail in regards to the perch, but man, all else looks fantastic!
+1 on stunning work Arash, awesome image.
Superb quality, The HD just jumps off the screen!
Hi Arash,
Superb capture. Kite's eye catches full attention but I am agree with Gail for perch. Great job.

A magnificent capture. I agree with the others re. the shrubbery; it is a bit distracting.
Your bird really shines too. Great shot. I like the bush.
very nice,bird nice and sharp with great detail,liike the prey in the talons,good BG,thanks.
Dear Arash
I as an Iranian. I am proud to.
Just sensational, Arash. I've been viewing your new 600mm posts with great interest, am practically drooling at the idea of possessing this lens, and you've been showing how it can help you to even (somehow!) exceed your previous achievements. I am interested to know how it is that it feels lighter than the 500mm even though it isn't; you had written that in an earlier post. Let me know if you've talked about that in another post/review somewhere, or plan to. Thanks!
Great setting this Aarsh, Loved it.. Cheers.
thanks everyone for nice comments! appreciate it

It is the ultimate birding lens IMO!
Stunner....send it to some contests, please. Killer angle, BG, eyes and whites. prey of course adds. I liked the composition as well...Keep 'em coming.
Very nice colors and great action.
Great action shot.
Amazing background and striking eye contact.
Gorgeous hd version.
I'm sure you have fun and satisfactions with the new lens.
Awesome image, Love the pose and great flared wings.
Thank you all :)
Thanks a lot for the info, Arash, I appreciate it.
