This is a rather simple frame with a banking Avocet. Not as handsome as raptors but a fast flier and I like the "serious" expression in his face. The mean business when they go after seagulls! :D

Arash,
Superb Wing position & IQ. Excellent exposure & BG. TFS.
Arash:
Avocets certaily have their own charms, so elegant. Excellent banking pose with nice detail, well exposed and sharp. Nice BG too. Like the trailing drop.
Cheers
Randy

Arash, killer shot as usual. has your signature all over it. perfect exposure, wing position and head position. Would not touch a thing.
Awesome, and the whites look great (on my monitor)....
I'm glad you created this as a horizontal, if you had shot this as a vertical I would have been amazed to the point of being disgusted.

What else to say? lovely bird and IQ. A very meaningful face indeed.
Great wingition, HA and IQ, Arash. They look so different in non breeding plumage.
Nice. Nothin simple about that. Great wing position and exposure Arash.
This is great Arash, love the wing spread and perfect exposure.
Your flight work is impressive ....... Your images are always full of detail and couldn't be better Arash. Excellent pose and the bird pops off that background just gorgeous.
