    Excellent Arash, you couldn't ask for a better flight angle, pose or sharpness. I would probably consider cloning out the drop of mud behind the bird as it adds nothing as is IMO.
    If it were mine I would probably clone the top darker part out of the BG to make it a flat blue but just a personal preference I think.

    Stunning shot Arash. I agree with Paul regarding the mud spot, however the GB is perfect, IMO. Nice work!

    Excellent sharpness, amazing details in both black and white and superb flight pose. Another well done flight shot from you. My eyes might be tricking me but I see halo on the legs. Really enjoy this picture, TFS.

    That's a beauty. I like that the bird is angled just a bit toward you. Wing position, sharpness, exposure ... are all perfect. I think I prefer the background as is. But agree that the single trailing drop of mud adds nothing.

    Wow! The sharpness and bird isolation is wonderful. Was a flash used or is this all nature light?
