    As always, beautiful pose with killer eye contact and superior processing. I have 3 of these locally but they are always very far away on the top of a local landfill. There are a few that people are getting shots of about 50 miles away that I must get to one of these days. Shots like this are inspiring. Just crazy good Arash.

    Great capture, with such a nice look right at you while flying by, great sharpness in face and body, nice light, color, pretty much perfect!

    That face and the sharpness take my breath away ... Background to die for. Killer at ISO 2500.

    Absolute beauty Arash - whats not to like? They eye contact here is sublime, and the light is awesome. Even by your standards this one stands out.

    Stunning, Arash.
    You always seem to get the guys looking at you - I have a mental image of you with a mouse tethered to the top of your head Or a lenscoat with small ears wiggling in the breeze.

    Thanks guys

    Mike most birds do look at you when flying at some point, you just gotta be fast enough to capture it and the 1DXII's 14 fps is made for these situations
