Outstandingly good!! Pose lighting colours exposure detail - terrific image!

[Lorant Voros]

HD version is just amazing looking at it on a big monitor. The range of shades and highlights pop with the perfect exposure. Fantastic work Arash.

Arash:

Nice landing pose, like that the bill merge is with lighter area of wings so tip still shows well, subtle blues in legs goes with BG.

Good techs.

Cheers

Randy

Arash, lovely image. The colors on these guys is always striking. Agree with previous comments especially the HD version.

Breathtakingly good, Arash. Fantastic pose, colors, details, all in sweet soft light.

Love the subtle detail in this one.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent IQ, pose and comp, Arash. Gorgeous bird; hope to make it to PA again some day to have a shot at these guys.

[Jeff Dyck]

Very nice image Arash - love the pose and the IQ / detail / sharpness look just excellent. There seems to be a bright line (or halo or sharpening artifact) around the bill? (I'd like get a better look on the linked larger image, but Smugmug is blocked at my office...)

Thanks Jeff, that's the reflection on the beak you can see it better in the large size.



Thanks everyone for comments appreciate it
