    I apologize if these are boring but the weather is really bad here so no more photography until I find something new!

    Another great photo, again the inclusion of the habitat really makes this for me.
    The grasses on the left are perfect.

    Just fantastic, Arash. You keep knocking them out of the park!
    Love the pose, the comp and the grasses on the left. Killer IQ as usual.

    Great action stopping ans eye contact, Arash! All is super and I would kill for a shot like this and I am not bored by these owl shots of yours. On the down side, this type wing position is not pleasing to me. Keep um coming!

    This is a fine blastoff Arash. You have lovely feather detail and one eye looks great. A bit more space in the direction it’s heading might make it more dramatic though I’m enjoying this as it is.

    Excellent job Arash. Love the way you were able to react and get the take of on time with the full bird in the frame.
    I was standing next to you and all I got were clipped wings.

    LOL that's exactly why I said my bird photography is not focal length limited.

    Please post your frames too Luis, I know what you are hiding ;)

    BTW, did you get to edit any of those videos?

    Don said snowys have gone so our timing was good!

    This is beautiful! The colors of the background are perfect, the bird is gorgeous.... I like the pose, he looks like he's just about to lunch higher. Can't get much better than this!

    Stunning! Love the grasses on the left. How could anyone not love your snowy shots? I really like the little bit of separation between feet and perch, as you mentioned,

    Arash, Not boring for me. I would love another chance at one of these beautiful birds. Great take off pose, soft colored background and nice light. I might evict the dark spot on the right. The entire series of snowy images have been wonderful.

    Hi Arash, very well timed for the take off, great wing position, and as always, exposure spot on. I do like the focussed grasses in the FG.
