I figured you need a break from eagles so here's a kite shot from back in summer


1D4 840mm f/5.6 1/3200sec ISO 800 handheld

see HD version here

[John Cooper]

Love this image Arash - wonderful flight pose of the kite about to alight on the branch with excellent exposure and IQ. The HD version is awesome - well done! Were you on the side of a hill for this capture Arash? You seem to be nearly at tree-top..!!

[David Salem]

Another great kite shot Arash. Both birds are lit very well and the landing pose is wonderful. Exposure and IQ are awesome. Very nice work.

[Robert Holguin]

Stunning image!!!
Terriific landing pose, very nice warm light, excellent comp, and very nice details.
Very well done.

[Ignacio Yufera]

Sweet shot Arash, great eye-level angle and both birds tack sharp, those orange legs look almost 3D.

[Frank Schauf]

Great pose and setting you have here, Arash.

[Nick Palmieri]

This image has so many good things. The position of the wings, the tail, the feet, and head could not be better. Love it!

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Wait, who needs a break from the eagle shots?! haha. Great shot Arash. Absolutely love the HD version.

[Shawn Zierman]

Dynamic action..those birds really pop against the darker color scheme in the image.
Awesome processing as per your usual. One minor thought, was that I wish the perched
bird did not have the long needle pines growing out of the top of my head look.... :)

One **** of a capture Arash!

thanks John, this perch was relatively low and the long focal length certainly helps with reducing incline angle.

Thanks everyone.

[Tin Man Lee]

Amazing, Arash. The HD version is insane, the kite is almost like 3D flying out from the computer screen.

I can't believe the h-word is censored even though it's not a bad word. Anyway, I was just saying excellent capture, essentially!

thanks Ray for kind words!

yeah it sounds too conservative to me as well, Captain Shadle is in charge of censorship ;)

This is just amazing, Arash. I remember seeing it somewhere else, maybe on your 500pix site, and just marvelling at the 3D quality, the incredible sharpness and detail, and the sense of relationship between the two. Really a sensational image.

[Greg Oakley]

Sweet shot with awesome timing Arash!
Cheers Greg

Lovely Arash, has a sweet sibling feel.
Great light, I would maybe try to sharpen the perch of the bird on the right.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

That is some beautiful light Arash and your timing perfect
