    Hi Arash, you've posted many very high-standard images, but this one is another favorite from my viewpoint. It has that eye-catching color contrast between the warm light on the subject and the cool light on the still-recognizable background, and the high level of sharpness and focus across the whole subject is great to see. It always adds interest to see these birds carrying freshly caught seafood, and I like the way the fishtail is still visible and in focus on the far side of the beak. The spray of variously sized water droplets adds a nice extra dynamic and a real lift to the image. No nits from me, I'd be very happy if I ever captured an image this good. Always worth looking at your latest!

    Beautiful sweet light, both eyes, water action and killer ocean BG. All spot on. TFS

    Very nice capture Arash, perhaps a sliver more below? Love the water splashes. Are you on a cliff or boardwalk, as I get the impression you are slightly shooting down as the subject passes by?

    Great image, Ari. Tech spot on as always and the fish is pointed towards the viewer. A image to strive for. Thank you for sharing.

    Fish has a nice HA.. Another excellent flight close up. I think you could lower the contrast just a tad for me on this one as
    the bird is pretty bright against the BG..

    No nits from me Arash. However, if this was mine (live in hope!) I'd hit that very small dark spot on the far wing with the spot healing tool in PS...it keeps catching my eye (and my ocd...lol)
