Wow! What a gorgeous bird in an excellent position. Love the creamy smooth background too. Excellent!
Superb image Arash. Nice, sharp details. I would love to get close to one here where I live someday. I can't stop admiring how sharp the bird is in this frame. Well done.
She sure gave us great opportunities. Your processing amazes me. Well done Arash
Lovely, show me something that is not perfect. The position of the bird, the perch, the background... all perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent image Arash. Superb details, sharpness & I love that raised foot. Love the simple perch, HA and BG.
Very nice image. Very comforting on the eye. Great sharpness and colours throughout. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Another awesome frame.
Love the IQ and the BG colors.
Perhaps she is about to have a manicure?!

Another top notch IQ frame Arash. Nice to see a bit of action on a perched bird, very pleasing shot
Sharp as a tack...
I might have added a bit of saturation to the feet just to emphasize hem a bit more....

Beautiful pose and IQ. Perfectly composed too. Nicely done Arash.
Another killer frame of this beautiful raptor. The colors, composition and details are excellent and terrific PP work as usual.
I have been shooting here for years and never had an opportunity like this so Im glad you got the chance to come down that week and shoot her. Might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I hope not! The shot looks terrific with a beautiful pose and killer details. See ya soon
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.

Gorgeous image. Beautiful pose. Superb complimentary colors, great details and composition.
Love the talons.

Love those killer talons and the nice eye contact!
Would love to see, and photograph, this specie some day. If mine, I would tone down the perch a tad.
