[Karl Egressy]

Great flight shot in sweet light, Arash.

[Girish Prahalad]

Wow..top class flight image. excellent wing position & IQ. love the BG as well.
Awesome colors of the late evening sun I presume.

Super image, the colours of the habitat with the bluish and greens really make the bird stand out.

Techs and PP are spot on as usual

The light just doesn't get any better than this!
I really like the color palette with the very dramatic blues in the BG. I like the vertical lines created by the grasses. It gives just the right amount of "environmental" feel without overpowering the harrier.
Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more room on the left if you have it.

The light on this is just superb. Love everything about this image, Arash.

Hi Ari, sweet, sweet light, and love the flight pose. I like the BG with the strands of grasses, and nicely separated from the Harrier.

[Bill Dix]

Absolutely stunning. Light to die for, just a glimpse of the ventral view, terrific habitat. But what stands out for me is your amazing PP work, with no discernible noise at 3200 ISO.

[Fernando Cerra]

I love it, great light pose etc...
