Arash: Nice one - tricky balancing act. Good colors in the Kestral and complimentary BG. Too bad he was concentrating so much on keeping his balance that he wouldn't take a look toward you.
Arash, I think the perch and composition are fine. I love the included environment and the fact that you captured a behavior should keep the HAP away. ;) You have some fairly hot whites just above the near leg - technically not blown out but could be toned down a tad. Excellent capture, I like it a lot!

i ditto exactly what kerry said!!!! maybe the only other thing is the perch that is cut off on the right frame edge. not much you could do about that though.
Hi Arash,
I like this as presented, good color rendition, with sharp details, and captured the the natural habitat and behavior to the T...well done...looking forward to more...:cool:
Looks good to me - only thing I would wish for was the eye to be a bit lighter.
Good show :)
Love it as presented and no changes for me !!! One fine looking bird and so well presented !!!
Like it as presented, nice behavior or day in the like action shot - well done.
Exposure techs look solid and nice feaher detail.
