    Very nice. They keep getting better. The straight stair with the clarity and detail is beautiful and the double catch lights are awesome. Soft look to the scene and the BG is very smooth. Seriously got me thinking about the 600. Great work.

    Classic shot, lovely light and the stare from the bird is great. I may have cloned out the little branch behind its tail but it does give a natural feel to the pic instead of some of the very clinical ones you see.

    Absolutely first class Arash, just love it. I like the small twigs I think they serve to provide a little balance to the image.

    What's not to love. Nice to see you can rock the non flight shots just as well. I love the light in this and the gentle looking yet intense stare.

    That is just a excellent BG you have to go with these Kite Photos. Suits them perfectly.
    I might think about getting rid of the small branch running through the tail.

    The light quality (divine!), eye contact, and perfectly sharpened details are very compelling.
    The perch and it's complexities are perfect imo.
