Your description fits perfectly. Luck my a**, opportunity met preparation... Sublime frame overall. TFS

This is stunning as usual Arash! Great detail and the exposure is perfect. Love the background tones. I like how the bird is perched on just one leg - I wonder if the second leg was tucked inside the feathers or if the bird was missing a leg? More room on the left would be nice compositionally.

I really apprieiate the work behind this image Arash. Very nicely done!
The light is superb, great background and an especially beautiful perch. The whites looks great too.
If anything I'm doubting the comp a little bit, it feels like you need more room the the right when the bird is looking in that direction. I understand that you want to show the whole perch though.

Really like the shape of the perch on this one. Nice light and pose. The killer background tops it off.

Another killer photo Arash. Love the soft feather detail on the right hand side just above the perch, and the sharpness of the bird's face. I'm fine with the composition. Love the perch and the BG.

I sort of agree with Ivan on the comp but I think you used 2 X 3 std vertical which
I also try to use. So I think the comp you chose is best as I don't like non std. crops
and I would change nothing else.
You can tell me if I am wrong.
The bird is killer....

I did put the bird a bit more to the left but I didn't like how the perch was cut off so I decided on this rather center comp.

Aditya, thanks. raptors usually tuck one foot in when resting, I have never seen a raptor in the wild with only one foot, it wouldn't survive long.

Hi Arash, what not to like. Beautiful bird, proportionally sized perch, complimentary background, exposure and background pretty much perfect. Thank you for sharing.

You must have been over the moon with this. Love the blown feathers. Great detail and look at the talons. Awesome perch and BG. Pretty sweet across the board. TFS
