Posing indeed. Love the perch, pose and BG. TFS

Those talons...

[gail bisson]

This is a beauty Arash! Love that perch and the starburst effect from the cracks on the trunk.
Great look at the talons and I love the IQ showing the beautiful streaking on the chest and belly.
Would like this one in my files!

Image quality and Background colors are very nice. How much of a crop was this image ?

[arash_hazeghi]

thanks Krishna this was cropped from a horizontal frame so it is about 1/3 of the original or 30%

Nice view of this hawk. Love the feet and those talons. Image quality looks great.
