Hi Arash,
I like these guys also. I am seeing a slight halo on the underside on my laptop and to me it feels a little tight ...but this is such a great shot....these guys are not fast...they are like lightning.. and you nailed it

[Colin Knight]

Well done!

[Michael Hogan]

Arash, Great shot, I agree with Ken, a little bit more on the LHS would improve it IMHO.

[Bill Dix]

Arash, Amazing shot! Tough enough to catch one of these guys in flight. But to do it with great wing position, perfect exposure with details in whites and darks, good bird position and comp -- now that's amazing.

Hi Arash - Beautiful - a little more room up front for him to fly into for my personal tastes.
Sharp and excellent technique!!

Hi Arash One fine capture !! These guys are hard to acquire and track !! Excellent IQ Big Congrats

I see the area mentioned on the bottom but not sure its a halo? .. just rim light, hard to tell !

[arash_hazeghi]

Thanks a lot guys, I don't see the halo in the large version here http://ari1982.smugmug.com/Animals/B...90_bBmUw-X3-LB

might be an interpolation artifact when smug resizes the original version...

Thanks for nice comments :)
