The EXP and details are spot on. Wish to see one of these some day. Only wish bird was lower but like it as is. TFS

[Paul Burdett]

Hi David. Thank you. Plenty of them here should you decide to visit! Cheers.

Lighting and exposure are great, but steep shooting angle means far wing isn't visible in this upstroke pose. That and pure blue BG mean the frame lacks depth.

[Paul Burdett]

In response to Dorian's comment...here's the only other frame I got, showing a small part of the far wing. Thoughts?

[Daniel Cadieux]

The second pose is much better with a fully upraised wing. It is very contrasty though, so I do prefer the whites and the blacks on the first.

Thanks Daniel...will have another look at the file. Cheers.
