Hi Arash great shot with lovely colors/tones and nice comp. The catch and the tilted head works very nice.
Would just back off on sharpening on the eyes , very obvious halo around the iris and outside the pupil, easy job :w3.The eye looks a bit unnatural contrasty /bright compared the the subtle sharpness /contrast of the rest . Just my 2 cents.

Wow Arash, that is really awesome. The BG is killer and to get prey in its mouth is an added bonus. Inspiring stuff, well done!
Superb Arash, great colour palette! :cheers:

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment
hi arash
great flight shot.Excellent light and BG.very nice comp.
Amazing light quality and awesome details on this speedy little owl...you excel in this area of bird photography. One consideration given the implied flight direction of the pose is too place the subject a little further to the right with more open space to fly into...would be pushing the creativity of subject placement more than you've done here imo...
Love this pose, bg and light, and the prey is a huge plus.
Another amazing shot Arash. Agree with the comments above!

Another great shot of this guy. That evening was a really good shoot and the quality and color of the light was beautiful. I like the fully lit eye and the prey in the beak takes this up a few notches.
See ya soon.
