I was waiting for the Ruddy shelduck that the beautiful buzzard came , hope you like it

Details and light are just beautiful. Colors look great as well, especially the background. The foreground looks too blurry to me. Do you blur it or is that natural?

Another fantastic low angle raptor image. I love the details and the colours. I especially like the texture of the feathers on the wing. I do wish for the far eye to be either more visible, or fully hidden, by a slightly different head angle either way. All else is super to me.

Looks great very nice frame of this buzzard.

Hi Isaac, thank you for comment , background and forground is natural and I did'nt change them

nice shot, I like the details and the pose I prefer a slightly higher angle to show the feet better and also agree with Dan with a slightly different HA for a more clear view of the (bloody?) beak. The blur looks completely natural to me

Love the low angle, detail and soft light. Nicely done!

Utterly stunning for me Sasan,the pov the light the amazing detail,not much to change for me.

Majestic, crisp, detailed, vibrant, and the BG is cherry on top, beautiful work Sasan!

Beautiful. Well done Sasan. Great POV and very nice detail on the bird. I really like the colours throughout especially the BG.

Good work.

Hi Stuart and thanks for comment ....this photo taken in iran / Arak / wetland Meyghan, I'm glad you liked it

Another excellent Buzzard shot - the light is wonderful, the only thing I would have said wold have been to have shot from a few inches higher for the feet.

Mike

Looks fantastic to me. A "few inches higher" would not give you a view of the feet. Raised wings and gold glow are wonderful.

with love, artie

Thanks all friends for the comments and tips
