    This is simply amazing Arash and you got the head turn and calling too. Very impressive.

    Great backside shot and detail. The head turn and open beak are just right. The BG goes really well with this kite. Love that red eye.

    Excellent, Arash! Are you using audio? I am having a time with a pair in my neighborhood right now also http://naturestoc.smugmug.com/Birds/...4684439_QDWc3s IQ is nothing like yours with my inferior equipment but with your helpful tips on NR with NX2, the images are ok. BTW, I am seeing two different eye colors on this pair, one with really red eyes like yours here and the other with orange eyes, interesting, maybe a sex thing?
