This is delux Arash!! Great light and a really unique take off position. Don't see them with blue water backgrounds and green branches too often so this makes this one that much nicer.
Very nice find also.
Hope you're getting some better sleep, talk to you soon

Great wing position. He really stands out against the dark blue background. Techs excellent, of course.

Love the background. Like the almost head on pose and the up wing position as well.

Hi Ari, brilliant IQ, detail and sharpness. I really like the raised wings, and the Kestrel looks great against the dark blue water.

I don't want to simply agree with everyone else here and would rather give you something different, but I seriously have the same thoughts as everyone else. Second time I've said this today, but these settings are something I would never consider. Between looking at that and one of your comments on an image I posted the other day, I can't wait to get out there and get more aggressive with DoF and ISO.

This is simply gorgeous Arash! The sweet light, the wing position and the blue BG, so top quality! killer frame.

Everyone has beaten me to it - an absolute beauty. Love the pop against the water and raised wings.
