Peregrine aerial maneuver

[arash_hazeghi]

This frame is from a juvenile Peregrine Falcon banking hard. The falcons can do very impressive in-flight maneuvers reminding me of the movie "top gun". I wish the top wing was more visible but I still like the dynamic element in this frame

Wouldn't look as dramatic if the top wing was wider. What a terrific shot, and the feet and talons showing just adds to it.

Amazing shot, Arash. This is such a killer frame.

Arash I have seen some excellent images from you but this is right up the top for me,the angle of the wings and the general pose is excellent,gives us something to strive for.

Awesome shot. Tack focus, exposure and detail and bright, clear eyes. I really like the spread out tail feathers.

[Brian Desjardins]

What an awesome shot, the detail, pose, sharpness, great job!

[David Cowling]

I like the sharpness right through the bird. It is sharp from the tip of it's beak to the end of the tail feathers. It looks as if it is coming to get you.
Nice even light on the bird. Was it an overcast day? If so then it has helped the exposure as there is no burn out or dark shadows. Just a really super image.

[Bill Dix]

I agree with you about the top wing, but the straight-on screaming look and splayed tail make this one for me (and of course the usual IQ). A beauty.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty darn coo. The top wing's position helps portray the hard banking manoeuvre, therefore in this case I am OK with it not showing as much as you would like. I love the bit of talon showing.

[gail bisson]

I love the dynamic wing position. I can feel the speed of this guy with this wing position.
Love the in-coming view and the visible feet.
Well done,
Gail

[Tim Foltz]

Arash, love this action shot and the exposed talons is a big plus.
