Kestrel 3

[arash_hazeghi]

Here is another frame of the lady kestrel, hope you like it



1DX 840mm f/5.6 1/2500sec ISO 500 handheld.

[Robert Holguin]

Another superb shot!
I really like the down stroke wing position, love the slight head angle towards you, superb IQ, and wonderful smooth background.
Very well done.

[Frank Schauf]

Superb shot! Excellent flight pose, great background, and very nice details, Arash.

[Uri First]

a super shot at all parameters, but i prefer the previous one in which the eye contact/look made a different.

[PhilCook]

Lovely color in those wings and great eye contact....personal tastes maybe, but I find the backdrop a bit too blurred and losing some of the naturalness

[Jonathan Ashton]

The other wasn't too bad but this is better I prefer the head and wing juxtaposition on this one, absolute cracker of a shot well done.

[Nick Palmieri]

Another sweet image if this guy. I love the light and the BG.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Arash -

What's not to like? Nice stare, perfect wings down position, and great IQ. Maybe just a tighter crop for me (to enjoy him even more!). Where's the usual HD version?!

I enjoy handholding with my 400mm f5.6L (my biggest lens so far) - it is great to see what a fantastic shot can be made while handholding a really big lens. Excellent.

Hi Ari, a very fast flying character, and you have nailed a great wing position. Love the light, IQ and overall colours, and the sharpness is spot on. Well captured.

[dankearl]

Another beauty Arash, maybe a bit farther back in the frame?

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose, eye contact and IQ. Another winner Arash.

[Bill Dix]

Another stunner. Perfect down-wing pose, sharp as a tack, and great eye contact. I'll never get tired of seeing these -- keep them coming.

[Melissa Groo]

Another fantastic image of this kestrel, Arash. The angle towards you, that gorgeous background, the wing position, the clarity, the IQ, I could go on and on. So hard not to feel envious and depressed at the same time that many of us will never get anything this good of a kestrel in flight!
I could see it moved back in the frame a tad, as Dan points out.

What's not to like!
Killer light and BG and IQ is superb,

[Jim Neiger]

Another killer Kestral shot, Arash! Makes me want to get a plane ticket and come visit. I think you may have toned down the whites just a bit much in this and your last image. The whites are looking a bit too gray. Otherwise, fantastic as usual.

[Mike Veltri]

Sweet shot in sweet light Arash, love the slight head turn she gave you and the downstroke wing positon captured here.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice down wing position, excellent shooting angle and nice light you are having, Arash.

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks everyone,

[Roman Kurywczak]

A really nice one Arash! Congrats on becoming an Avian mod as well!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Cool looking kestrel! love the clarity and light. The clean BG is superb too.
