Good focus, colours and light, Arash. Eye is great, I might darken down the pale strand in the BG rising from the rump of the hawk.

Thanks Tony, good eyes! I removed the strand.

Wonderful image. Great light, exposure and details.

Lots to like here Arash.
The exposure, wing position, intense stare and the wonderful dry grassy setting all combine to make a great image.

[Rob Drummond]

Really like the detail on the wings and the intense stare - wonderful golden light.

cheers

This pops so well from the BG Arash, and I like the flight posture. Overall, nice and sharp, and well captured.

Lovely shot Arash. Very sharp and love the quality of the light and the outstretched wings.

Awesome pose man! I only wish for separation of bill from the far wing. That's a small wish though as overall the pose, light and details in the bird make this extremely appealing. :)

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Great capture. Nice background, sharpness, exposure and action. Wish for the head pointing more towards you.

I guess I know where this image was taken... :)
