Excellent incoming/landing flight shot. Love the open beak, stretched out feet, fanned tail and wing position. The darker background sets it off nicely. Great work.

[Walker Noe]

Very nice pose and sharpness. Not much I can say to criticize this one. Love the varied but not too distracting bg.

[Richard Flack]

Awesome pose Arash! The kite really stands out against the BG...TFS

[Loi Nguyen]

Lovely, Arash, love the extended wings, outstretched feet and wings. TFS. Loi
