Thanks Dumay, I left it there on purpose for fun!

Beautiful wingspread. These birds look really fresh and clean. Great image. Did you use 300mm/2.8 and 1.4X?

[Dan Brown]

Beautiful all around Arash!

Jaw dropping photo. How perfect is the exposure on those wings. And the sharpness. Unbelievable, Arash.

[Kristin Brown]

Arash,
Love this photo. Congrats on another keeper!

Great pose, beautiful lighting and the distant background gives it almost a 3D quality.

Personally I would loose the head in the lower left and for me, it would really get stronger if you cloned in the blue sky spots in the foliage background as they do grab my eyes a bit?

[Don Thompson]

Beautiful pose and light and very sharp. Did you apply a gaussian blur to the background or is that smooth out of the camera?

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Phenomenal work, Arash.
Amazing detail, light, pose, bg ..
You surely are having a very productive trip.
Keep them coming :)

Thanks Jim, I realize the 2nd head is of no photographic value, like I mentioned above I put it there for fun. thanks

[James Shadle]

Congratulations Arash!

The image is exposed well, sharp with an interesting and beautiful subject.
Superior wing detail.

IMO some separation between the beak and wing would make this an even stronger image.

[Stu Bowie]

Arash, looks like you guys had plenty opportunities, and have taken each one at its best. Cool wingspread, sharp, and the HA works so well here. Well captured.

[Haim Ziv]

This is a great image!!

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent!

[James Salywoda]

Great pose captured Arash excellent detail and composition.

Arash:

Excellent impact here, with nice exposure, composition, 3D effect.

To my eye the wings look a bit over sharpened as I am seeing some jaggies along the rachis of the primary feathers.

I think the second head is so subtle that it is a fun little detail to entertain the eye as you sweep the image.

Cheers
