Osprey
An osprey photo for a change :)
1D4 500mm f/4 1/2500sec ISO 800.

Two things: 1) This photo is exquisitely lovely and beyond reproach. 2) You are incredibly fortunate to have access to birds of this sort! I am going crazy living in Toronto, without a car...

Very nice Arash - I want to see an image with an Osprey and a Snowy Owl in the same frame.
I love the calling, the perch and the light is nice and warm. I even like the bit of grass that is falling down from the perch.

Wow!!! Superb image. Love the warm light, excellent perch and pose, great detail, and exposed perfectly.
Very well done.

beautiful light and feather detail. those talons look really wild!

Arash:
Excellent capture, shooting angle, light, calling pose, angle in frame. The misplaced primary gives him a bit of extra character, has taken a beating and still going!
I could go either way on the dangling grass, but it is a small enough detail that it doesn't distract form the subject, and adds an extra little visual treat as you scan around,
Cheers

Stunning as ever IQ, Arash, wonderful calling behavior image, with perfect HA and gorgeous light. I like your comp too. Well captured.

Great light, calling pose, and exposure, Arash. I like the dangling grass a lot too.

Hi Arash, perfect comp, and I like how the perch curves back towards the Osprey. Well timed to get the open beak with the calling behaviour, and overall well exposed and tack sharp. We all like a foliage BG over a sky BG, but Im actually fine with the sky in this.

Great image Arash! I like the lighting, pose, IQ and composition.

The light and the calling pose makes this picture, Arash. It must have been taken very early or late afternoon. Exposure and feather details are perfect.
