Bird is sharp and I like the eye contact -- but -- I'm not a big fan of a solid white background in a nature shot --

[Mital Patel]

this is mind blowing control over exposure. being in such bright bg you did manage really well with full under wing details visible. looking at the iso there is hardly noticeable noise visible. gr8 **** arash

I like the close crop, fanned tail, and of course great job on exposing for the bird. Nice details as well.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great job in this light. Wonderful eye contact makes it for me.

[Ilija Dukovski]

This is a killer shot, I like the pose, looks, fanned tail.
White BG is good too. Nice one.

[Katie Rupp]

Very nice in-your-face capture and since I am partial to High Key, I like this very much.

[Vinay Lakshman]

Loved the details on the bird , I really dont mind the white BG but would have loved to see the full bird .

[Stu Bowie]

Arash, excellent detail, and tack sharp. Normally these type of images dont work for me, but I like the way you have "tucked" the fanned tail in the LLC.

[Markus Jais]

Wonderful flight shot. I like the tight crop and the spread tail.
Excellent sharpness and exposure.

I liked the crop. Details very impressive. The tail spread couldn't have been better. Thx for sharing.

Arash WOW a stunner!! On this image the high key works well for it draws your eye to the subjects head perfectly. The sharpness and exposure are spot on. Very well done!!

[Luis Villablanca]

Those are impressive details, and the fanned tail is really great.
In general I don't like clipped wings but I think they worked quite well here.

Thanks a lot guys for nice comments :)

Works well for me Arash! It is a super pose and really draws you into the frame. I don't mid the bg in this image--I think it fits and leave you absorbed in the subject.
