    Hi Arash.
    I like the exposure and BG.
    I think it needs a bit of CW rotation, it looks like he is flying downhill?
    Not too sure about the portrait comp?

    I love the HA and the leg color in particular, I'd probably place the bird bit
    higher in this vertical crop. Nice one.

    I'd prefer a landscape orientation to the image, and I agree it needs CW rotation. Not easy to capture in flight, good job with the sharpness - good down-wing position too. As posted agree a crop from above would help the comp. I love the streaking colours in the water below the bird. P.S. don't forget the "s" at the end of yellowlegs ;-)

    Well done for capturing the downstroke of the wings. I like the sharp detail, well exposed, and Im sure you have oodles of space to create a horizontal crop.

    Arash, Yes to the need for some CW rotation. Relatively sharp. Some of the whites look a bit bright at best. I like the dark water The bird is flying slightly away from you; slightly towards you is almost always to be preferred. The bird is in pretty fresh juvenal plumage. I am not sure if this is a lesser or a greater.... The two-toned bill with what looks like a slight upcurve suggests greater....

    Thanks guys, I will try landscape later,

    I think it was a lesser since the bird was small with short legs (from other shots).
