Arash, fabulous pose with the flared wings and tail, along with the look of concentration on this cute juvie!  BG is so sweet and further enhances your subject.

I remember this one being posted a while back. Looks great and it's one of my favorite BO shots of yours. The pose with the fanned wings and the fully lit eye looks great and that smooth BG adds to the overall appeal. Very nice Arash
