Arash, this is a stunning photo. Love the details of both the WTK and its prey! Another one of a small raptor that is difficult to photograph, yet you have shown us that is possible!

[Greg Oakley]

Beautiful image Arash - sensational action and superb light,

Cheers,
Greg

Awesome this is.

[vishaljadhav]

Amazing image you have here, the beautiful bird with sharp details and lovely bg to compliment it
the prey has details too making it special , the pose captured is fantastic

[David Salem]

Another beautiful Kite shot Arash. The exposure is right on and the detail is there because of that. The pose is real nice with a good wing and head position. The one foot clutching the prey as the other is about to grasp the perch is cool. Nice work.

Wow!! Super shot!

Also impressed you actually handheld the 600mm lens and TC. Is that easy to handhold and walk about or do you pick it up from the tripod for the shot and put it back quickly?

Apologies if its a stupid question

[Lyle Gruby]

Wow, what a beautiful shot. Great light, fantastic pose, prey item puts it over the top.

[gail bisson]

Totally wonderful, Arash. Great subject, prey, action, background.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Stunning image, Arash. Light, bg, pose, exposure control - all superb.
Prey takes it to a whole different level.

There seems to be a minor masking issue where the two wings merge?

[Sachin Saraf]

Another beautiful image of this bird...Love the light, exposure and details...blood on talon really adds to the drama..

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Arash! I like the light, IQ, red eye, composition and BG.

Thanks Shane,
It is easy to carry around and handhold (for me) I don't use a tripod
