Cool image, Arash! I love the clean bg and the pop of green that the dragonfly adds. Nice bird and perch too!
Tics all the boxes, Arash. Great pose, perch, background, techs. Dragonfly a nice bonus.
This is terrific. I don't know what I like best- the merlin or the dragonfly.
IQ superb, love the BG
I would clone out the little bit of debris under the perch to the left of the tail

I agree with all above, great capture of a beautiful bird. I'd clone out the poop on the perch as well as the minor debris at the bottom.
Excellent IQ, pose and clean background. The prey item adds interest.
Fantastic image and IQ. The dragonfly adds something extra.
How cool! I love the way the Merlin is holding on to the dragonfly. Vertical comp is well balanced, and overall IQ is as expected from you. I'd experiment with a warmer WB, but certainly fine as is too.
Hi Ari, super pose and HA, and excellent sharp detail throughout the image. Killer BG.
Great frame. Like the composition, light, details and IQ. Dragonfly included makes a point. TFS.
Cheers,
Miro
Excellent shot Arash. Detail is great and the meal is a big plus. I'm with Daniel on trying a slightly warmer color temperature.
All been said above. Beautiful image Well done
Very cool pose. Love the prey and its color! Loi
To Nice Arash. Sure glad she was there for you to see. What a cool experience we shared. Might be the only time we do that the rest of our lives, I have never done it before! See ya soon
