They might be common to you, but I wish they were more common where I live!
You bring out the best, Very handsome pose...

[PhilCook]

Very very nice Arash, maybe the best exposed image I've seen so far, gorgeous light. Great pose and fascinated by the bits of fluffy downy looking feathers on top of the wings

[Troy Lim]

Amazing flight shot. Handheld too,,,impressive!

excellent image. lovely wingspread & landing pose along with great details & exposure.
Maybe a bit more room below for the landing?

You could not have asked for a better landing pose than this. I love the offset legs and feet. Both wings look good, but man that far wing is superb!! Great light too. I know it is part of the wing feathers but I would get rid of the small vertical line touching the bill near the tip...
