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'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....
