Beautiful looking Raptor Bhai, loved the brown tones in this image..

A proud bird with a beautiful pose,head angle and warm colors!

Love the color and warm light, I would lighten the area around the eye a little to help it stand out a bit more and help hold the viewers attention.

The golden tones add to the regality of the pose. I like the head angle and the patterns in the wing feathers.

Great light and head angle. Very good sharpness and a perfect BG.

This is not Aquila pomarina (Lesser Spotted Eagle). Where did you take that shot? Looks like a juvenile White-tailed Eagle.

Hi Asad,

juvenile Lesser Spotted Eagle looks different. Has more yellow on the bill, white spots in the plumage and a different overall impression and it is a lot smaller.
Trust me, this is a juvenile White-tailed Eagle :)
It is rare summer but common winter visitor to Iran (see here: http://globalraptors.org/grin/Specie...269&catID=2000)
