    Fantastic image, not much else to say other than maybe having a touch more space on top if you've got it.

    Sweet. Love the wings fully up pose and the BKGR. SH and FFD are superb. (Hey, I invented a new acronym just for you Arash: FFD = fine feather detail!)

    Arash, nice shot of this juvi Coopers, nice BG, sharpness etc., would like to see a little more breathing room at the top if it were mine.

    Finally got to look at this one on my monitor, and what a great take-off shot it is Arash. The pose, wing position, BG and details all look awesome. This guy is what we call a "brancher" . He is only a few days out of the nest and flies around from branch to branch. Love the down on the head and rump. Well done

    Yet another great flight frame, and the wings up pose is beautiful. The details you're getting from this rig are superb. I agree on a little more space above if you have it.

    What a shot! Not very often you see a flight image of a coopers hawk and you nailed this one, great wing position

    That is a gem, wonderful clean image and great details and I like the pose. I think the crop was carefully chosen too.
