Hello Akif,
Another beauty. This time of a Golden Eagle in flight. Technically very good photo. But also very beautiful with superb sharp details and great natural colours in a beautiful contrast against the blue sky. Excellent composition, POV and timing.
Regards,
Peter

Selam Akif,

A lovely shot of the Eagle during flight hours!
The sharpness and POV are just ideal with nice DOF. The colors are so natural and pure. The colors of the Eagle give great contrast to the blue sky. You got the good weather. Great job!

Thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla
