Removed an OOF blob from bg in lower left.

Looking forward to your comments and critiques !

Great pose and composition Mike and I like the eye contact in this capture. Wonderful clean BG but it appears a tad oversharpened on my monitor and a little more canvas at the bottom. Beautiful image of this species and many thanks for sharing Mike.

Great find, light, exposure control and details. I might give it a tad more room.
