I like the wing position and the light. IQ is great as well. Another winner and no nits from me,

A winner, great light ad wing position...Seems t always be my comments, but when its good...its good!

[Bill Dix]

Ditto. Wonderful light, great wing position. Bird at perfect angle and stands out well from the nice BG. No nits.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Arash, a signature shot. angle of the bird couldn't have been better. Everything else top notch as usual. good call on the f-stop. loved the choppy water BG.

[Sachin Saraf]

Everything is so perfect about this one...another great BIF..

[Doug Brown]

A tough shot to get. Great eye contact, wing position, and sharpness. Have you been out there lately?

yeah I went last month and they had all left!

I like the waves in the BG a lot.
The bird is great as usual, funny, stubby little guys.
You can't get much nicer light!

Arash, this is a tough shot. Very sharp and lovely pose. I can only imagine that it takes a lot of time to acquire the skills needed for these sort of flight shots.
