    love the pose and exposure and the way it pops off the BG here Arash!
    might have to look on the better screen tonight, but does it need a hint more fine sharpening as presented?

    No worries Arash. Like I said, not viewing on the best screen atm but it usually is fine for web images. The head just looks a tad smooth? Will have to view again tonight...if it's fine on your end don't pay no mind to me

    Thanks Morkel. I checked it again and the head looks sharp to me and just the way a white-tailed kite looks like. I am usually very careful about sharpness and delete photos that are not tack sharp when viewed at 100%.

    As you know a photo that is not sharp cannot be made to look sharp in post.

    I might have missed something but here is a 100% crop from RAW, un-sharpened and straight out of the camera. it looks sharp to my eyes.

    The HD version looks good on my screen too.

    Hi Arash,
    This is spectacular. Definetely NOT boring!
    The light is beautiful. I love the wing position and the BG is perfect.
    I like the feet down with toes splayed and open beak.

    Hi Ari, excellent inflight pose with the full wingspread and extended legs and splayed talons. Exposure looks good, as does the overall sharpness, and the kite pops so well from the darker foliage BG. Well captured.

    Brilliant catch and with a dark "olive-coloured" bg really makes the subject standout. I gather at the shutter speed this was a handheld shot?

    This is another amazing shot. Are you raising these guys in your backyard? The sharpness looks perfect to me, love the underwing lighting.

    Just beautiful Arash. Love that dark background, the talons out, the underwing detail. How can any of these stunners be considered boring?

    Well done.

    Great landing pose. Bg and techs are perfect. Love that the beak is open. Nice Job. The juveniles are beautiful.
