    Default simple AA shot

    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:

    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

    Very nice! A couple of hot spots, but nothing too distracting.

    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.

    yup, I can't really handhold my rig in vertical orientation as the balance, handling and tracking becomes awkward...

    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.
