    A beautiful look a the face, the tail, and far wing. Techs and sharpness spot-on.

    Well the tough light was no match for you. A stunning capture, sharp as anything, and I just LOVE that yellow eye which stands out so well in this image.

    Hi Arash, great banking pose, and I like the detail and colours on this fellow. Good DOF from wing tip to wing tip, and nice and sharp too.

    Tough light handled very well. Nice sharpness and eye contact.

    I think the light works well here. Soft and the detail is excellent.
    It almost looks like a painting.

    Hi Arash,
    Also liked the way you handled the lights, love the soft brown over the grey colors, head turn also great.

    Truly gorgeous. I also love the painterly feel...like a George McLean, perhaps? What I wouldn't give for opportunities at northern harrier shots like these...just a chance to be a contender...a faraway shot...something...grey ghosts...so beautiful...must leave Toronto...must leave Toronto...your flight shots are marvelous...kudos...
