    Excellent sharp detail Arash, and I like the separation of the feathers. I like the overall posture too. Well captured.

    Sweet image, Arash. I like the pose and windswept feathers. Perfect exposure too. Well done. Looks like you may have missed a couple of spots between the bird's body and its left wing when you selected the bg for processing. Also the area around torn feathers on its upper left wing.

    Cool landing pose, sharpness and head angle. I might saturate the bird a tad more. Could this be a juvenile bird?

    Yes this is a Juvi.
    Probably a fledgling from this season.

    Congratulations on a beautiful flight image of this species. They are usually so high and almost impossible to capture. Excellent detail and the flight pose is awesome arash.

    Arash. It is a very pleasing image of this bird. It looks like you wased the plumage and put a hair dryer there:-)...so beautiful. Pose, compo, light, eveything is pretty much as good as it gets for me. Hats off, man.
