Another nice image Arash. Great IQ and super smooth BG. Maybe a bit more side on would have shown-off the bird a bit better but a great image anyway

[Glenn Conlan]

Sharp and well processed as always. I am glad you were able to get shots of this very cooperative Merlin. Sorry I was not able to visit. Hope you got some flight shots.Glenn

Stunning IQ as usual. The eye and head angle are just great. I'm amazed again by how close to manage to get to these birds.

[Diane Miller]

Gorgeous light and detail! And the perfect BG color!

[Raybel Robles]

Superb, sharp image clean background with a great pose too.

[MiroslavMaric]

Like all details of the bird, BG tone, position, composition and perch too. Well done. TFS.

Cheers,

What a great opportunity we had with this very cooperative Merlin!! Doesn't get much better than this killer frame, well some of the ones we got with prey might be :) Beautiful detail and BG.
Glad you came out and had a productive shoot.
See ya soon

Very nicely done.

Excellent image Arash. I like the IQ, details, complimentary BG and composition.
