[Jim Crosswell]

Amazing image Arash! I like the exposure control, IQ, details, eye contact and dark BG.

[Troy Lim]

Agree with Jim, nice exposure and killer BG.

[holger cremer]

Very nice Picture I also fulla agree with Jim!

[Sam Chaplin]

I also agree with everyone who agrees with Jim,and also with Jim that this is a nice Image.And to add to that the Faithful and untouched eyes are a killer.

[Karl Egressy]

Great image, Arash. The eyes ar beutiful so is the whole picture.

[Don Nelson]

Excellent capture. Love the eyes.

[David Salem]

You got the red eyes! Exposed perfect. The best portrait shot is the series IMO. Looking straight at you, Dark BG, Cool perch, red eyes with double catch lights. Great Work .

[Marina Scarr]

Super IQ as usual. Your bird is so lovely against that BG and in that light. The perch works very nicely here. All came together well. Seems odd seeing a perched bird posted by you. :)

[Lorant Voros]

True...a perched bird from Arash:-). Very nice though with amazing IQ, nice PP and yes, those eyes are amazing. Great work.

By the way..I emailed you, wonder if you got it.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice bird and IQ, I also noted that this bird is not flying! love the eyes and white breast.

[dankearl]

Very nice, Arash, the colors are very nice, the eyes perfect and the IQ is great.

[Shawn Zierman]

Excellent in every regard.
Those eyes are something else!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Ari, great eye contact and those eyes are a killer. Exposure and sharpness spot on. I really like the placement of the kite in the frame, pops from the darker BG, and if this were mine, I would maybe have blended away the two 'loose' branches next to your signature.

[Satish Ranadive]

Gorgeous image.Elegant composition.Love the pose,perch,lights,great details in whites and above all lovely eyes.

Regards,
Satish.

Amazing image Arash!
I like the exposure control, IQ, details, eye contact and dark BG.

[Jon Rista]

Now that is a beautiful shot! What a bird! All I can say is I'm a bit envious of your skill. ;)

[gail bisson]

I really like this.
The detail in the white feathers is superb.
I like the bit of blood on the talon as well.
Love the direct gaze and the play of dark BG against white feathers.
The eyes are like little rubies. The beak is perfectly square to the sensor as well which adds to the image. Rubies and pearl on velvet should be the title!!
Love it and you get 10 out of 10 for this one,
Gail

Great shot, I am after one of these guys; here in Portugal I have got a resident bird on the land, just a matter of time,
:-) I am s0tudying his behavior carefully ....

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Lucky you to get all these kite ops. Glad to see you take full advantage of it. It's nice to see you can shoot a non flying object just as well!:) Very nice Arash

[Craig Brelsford]

Jim said it well: "exposure control." Well done. Your super-dark BG serves to set off the kite.

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great pose and colours, Arash.
