Very nice, Arash. Love that light. Excellent exposure and details. Is this from Half-Moon Bay?

Thanks Indranil, yes this was in Poplar beach back in Oct.

Arash, I tried to delete and reload it but that didn't help. Could you rename the file and upload it to your webspace or alternatively make it smaller than 195kB and upload it to the BPN server? I hope the thumbnail gets recreated this way.

I like the light and look-back pose in this one, the complementing BG works well, too.

Nice eye contact, pose, and bg. Image could be brightened some.

Done Axel renamed and 180KB.

Meh...didn't work.

I think I tricked it by uploading a second image and then delete one. I see the thumbnail now.

Yup, thanks Axel!

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the lighting and eye contact. Well done!

[Kiran Poonacha]

Nice eye contact bhai, would be tempted to clone out the green patch below the bird, still like the pose, level and light on this..

[Luis Villablanca]

Very nice image, Arash. I also like the eye contact and the detail on the wing.

Hi Arash: This is a beautiful composition where everything came together just right and an experienced photographer took advantage of the situation. Sweet image, my friend.
