    Default Jumping off the cliff

    I photographed this juvenile Peregrine falcon back in the summer in SoCal. He was jumping off the cliff to practice his flying skills

    Cracking detail Arash, really like the BKG too, reflects well the location and also a little different to your normal images IMHO.

    Gorgeous image quality and I like the rocky BG as it looks different. Nice one Arash!

    Hi Arash, stunning shot with lovely detail. If it was mine I would be tempted to add a bit more room on top and quite a lot more on the bottom for the bird to fly into. (But these things are subjective). TFS

    Great image, Arash. You timed the takeoff well and even got a look from the bird. I like the tight crop since it shows off all of the fabulous details in the young Falcon.

    Great looking bird with such amazing colors. I like the take off pose and the sense of motion here.
