Fantastic capture Arash
nice wing and tail pose and killer BG

That is one very hard to capture bird in flight ,love the wing angle and the eye, Perhaps the upper tail coverts arre slightly blown but still great capture

[Dave Barnes]

Very nice capture Arash. good feather detail and colour. I would have preferred him flying towards you.

[Paul Randall]

Very nice. A bit more contrast on the face perhaps. The noise seems well handled here too.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the wing position and look-back pose. Another vote for toning down the highlights on the rump and maybe more blurring of the BG.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Nice pop against the unfortunately busy background. Blown highlights have been mentioned. Love the top view. JR
