That's beautiful Arash. I'm a real admirer of your work.

[Randy Stout]

Arash:

The diving, diagonal pose adds a lot, fine look back, and the black rimming of front primaries is really striking.

Well captured.

Arash this is really excellent, nice head turn on the bird, beautiful light and a super Bg you can,'t ask for a lot more.

I feel the speed in this frozen moment. Yes, your work is outstanding, Arash. Congratulations.

[Henry Domke]

The white rump patch is visually dominant and pulls the eye away from the face and the rest of the bird.
Even though it is natural and helps with identifying the bird would you ever consider reducing the contrast of the rump?
Here is a 15-second quick attempt to show you what I'm talking about

[Alan Murphy]

So dang nice. The warm light and pose are awesome, but that BG is really sweet.

[arash_hazeghi]

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment.

Thanks Henry a bunch for taking to the time to edit and repost, honestly I don't see a difference between your repost and the original when scroll up and down. BTW, the rump in real bird is pure shiny white, it's a "feature" of this raptor so I don't find it detracting

Fantastic flight shot,details and nice eye-contact...Arash.

[MohsenVahedipour]

Sweet warm light & BG. Great IQ & pose Arash. TFS

[Holger Leyrer]

Amazing Image. The BG is fantastic. Love the look on the face and wing position

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

This is theee most killer light and detail. Love the slight head turn as well. Not really distracted by the rump myself as my eye was drawn right to the birds eye and then to the detail on those wings. awesome

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Killer light and a stunning bg. The eye contact is great. Excellent work with the 2x.

[David Salem]

Great evening light and nice details in this cool look back pose. Very nice
