Hi Arash, love the banking pose showing off the beautiful wing plumage/structure, head to camera is a nice touch. You are oh so lucky to have the light, next time when Artie comes over, you should tag along, be nice to see some images with our light here.

Is this at the full 50mpx, or have you chosen to drop the file size?

TFS

Fantastic capture Arash, that pose is about as good as it gets, love those fanned tail feathers and that head angle. TFS!

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful shot. Terrific turn of head and fan of tail. Nicely captured.

Arash, great dorsal look at this PF. Love the splayed tail feathers to match the wing spread.

Tastefully sharpened from my view and like the bkg colors with striations.

I feel like you could pump it up a little bit in the mid-3/4 tones and give it a punch.

Otherwise, no nits from me. It's a beauty.

It's hard to get anything better than this as far as falcon flight images go! Perfect "thick" feather spread throughout, excellent head angle, and beautiful BG.

thank you all,
Steve I didn't catch your question, the files are always 50 mega pixels but this is a 50% crop. It was fully overcast when I took this image BTW. there was no light to envy so not much better than your light.

Steve I didn't catch your question, the files are always 50 mega pixels

Hi Arash, I thought with the A1 you can select a file size ie 20, 30, 50MB to shoot with, rather than a fixed 50MB?

I think you mean mega pixel (MP not MB). It has a crop mode that's about 25 mega pixels but I never use it

cheers

[Steve Kaluski]

Correct.

[Joseph Przybyla]

What can I say... perfect. Thank you for sharing, Arash.
