    Beautiful light, excellent pose and comp, and good sharpness. I like the way the beak stands out against the underwing shadow. Very well done.

    Awesome capture, Arash! I love the eye contact and the lighting! You could have picked a bird with all it's feathers full though!! (a joke)!!

    As everyone else has said, the lighting and IQ on this is simply awesome. I would not be exaggerating if I said this is simply my all-time favorite photo of this species.

    Arash, great diagonal banking angle captured here, and in sweet light too. Excellent underwing detail, and you just keep turning them out, one by one.
