Love the comp, stunning posture of owl. BG compliments tones of owl. IMHO the head much more crisp then wing tips? Nice capture, Arash!

[Doug Brown]

I don't print many, but I'd print this one BIG Arash. Well done!

[Bill Dix]

Gail summed this up very nicely. What more can be said. Stunning.

[Lorant Voros]

This is very impressive, Arash. The pose is over the top and the eye is insane. Hats off!

Outstanding flight image. Your last image whilst excellent on the technicals the bird is somewhat lost to the background (just my view), this is much better IMHO. I agree with Doug , print BIG:).
(I think you may wish to amend the typo in the bird's description...substitute 'u' for 'o'...then remove this part of my comment).

That flight pose is awesome!! Good job capturing it and I love the detail in the eye and head. I shoot allot of BOs and I can tell you I would love to have a frame like this. Great work Arash.

This is why I want to be a better bird photographer, to make photos like this! So beautiful!!!

Arash, these guys are incredibly fast, but you are faster! Wow! Great pose, colors, sharpness, and the head angle. Good choice on the SS. Loi
