    Young white-tailed kite. These small skittish raptors are one of my favorite subjects


    shot with my D500 and 600 E FL + TC-14 E III ISO 640 f/5.6 at 1/3200 sec hand held processed with C1P. Hope you like it

    I think you have really nailed it Arash wonderfully focused and pleasing composition and colour palette. No simple task at that focal length!
    I look at the image and I ask myself has NR been applied? To me the image has a very"smooth" look to it...WDYT?

    Nice parallel flight path here. I'm sure they are fast and not always easy to pan.

    Nice down stroke flight pose. Killer background. Catchlight and the eye looks nice.

    Really nice, Arash. I echo the positives mentioned above. Love the wing position.

    Strong from of the speedy subject. Background is killer. Face isn't as perfectly sharp as your other recent frames, but it's still like a 9.5/10. Detail in the whites is outstanding.

    Hi Dorioan it must be your monitor that's butchering it, this is one of the sharpest WTK file I have it cannot get any sharper than this, this one has some detail you don't see in 99% of the shots out there ;) if it ain't tack I delete instantly.

    this is a 100% unsharpened crop from RAW to show what a tack sharp kite image should look like at 100% , the eye socket in particular is where the detail is often lost but this one has plenty
