Beautiful shot .Great B/G. My
only comment would be the slight lack of eye light , and the slightly dark underside . You might ask him/her to come in 30 mins later! Is this part of the migration?

Fantastic colours and background gradient especially. My only suggestion would be to centre the bird perfectly. This kind of head-on pose requires a central attack so the fact that there is more space on the left bugs me a bit. I'd shave off a sliver on the left and leave the rest as is.

Hi Sasan, a cracking image of an awesome subject, love everything about it and the R5MK2 rocks.

How did you achieve the flight shot head on, was this baited? Did you apply DXO? A slight CW rotation

One thought as an option perhaps... is to have a bit more separation between FG Subject and BKG?

Look forward to more.

Hi steve , thanks for comment و I used Ai denoise , In this season, steppe eagles pass through Iran on their migration route, and we use chicken meat to attract them.... thanks for new Edit

Hi Sasan, don't use any NR, the files at ISO 500 will be sweet and do not require this application seriously it's a very bad habit to get into and doesn't really help the file. If you are shooting 1600 and above then perhaps, but with that gorgeous light, just take this element out of your Workflow. Thanks for the additional info, I assume then its from a low hide?

The edit is just a suggestion only.

Sasan, great to see this image from you. It's a dandy!!

This pose is very very nice and I love the canvaswith the transitioning sky colors and the ground below to give perspective.

Other than being just a little saturated in the darker tones and potentially a slight tone tweak, it's outstanding. Well done1

 

[Jack Backs]

Sweet image. I do think Steve's repost is an improvement.

I like the head-on post. the original colors look closer to the desert environment this raptor was photographed. I'd just bring up the dark tones a bit.

PS. it's best to mention when bait was used

This is just stunning, Sasan. I've not seen very many landing shots at eye-level like this. The light is to die for as well.
As far as processing goes, I'd settle somewhere between the original and the repost; but closer to the original.

Love the eye contact here. Really makes the image that bit special.
