This is another Merlin frame I captured with Dave Salem in SoCal

hope you like it

Beautiful bird, nicely shown. I really like the colors and tones of the background, very complimentary to the color of the bird. The perch leaves me a little wanting that the end did not look like a broken off branch, but you have to go with what the bird chooses unless a setup. Impeccable techs as always. Thank you for sharing, Arash.

Superb capture, Arash!

Techs spot-on as usual, lovely colours, nice subtle PP work, wonderful pose from the subject.

Perfect framing and presentation and the bird stands out beautifully against the BG.

I find it impossible to find fault with your images, this is just another stunner...

Warmest regards,

Excellent shot all around. I feel it asking for a little more canvas on the right.

Another beautiful Merlin image, Arash. Great dynamic balancing pose, and super BG that compliments the bird. And your techs, of course. No nits. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous image. Spectacular pose with half raised wing, nice stare, beautiful colour pallet, great details and superb composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Hi Ari, love the light in this, and you have captured a great pose. I do like the detail and colours on the Merlin, nice and sharp, and the colours of the BG compliment the Merlin nicely.

Arash could go on and on about this, excellent would not change a thing.

Beautiful IQ, I could also see a conventional crop with more on the right....

[Karl Egressy]

The Merlins on the West Coast look so nice. Excellent pose, great IQ and nice layered Background.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

For me it is just a little tight, but mate, you have some fantastic detail and a great pose Arash - with the technical perfection your images are known for!
