Wow just awesome cloning out OOF stuff in the lower right corner would make it perfect.

Thanks James, How's this?

Cool pose, details and eye contact. I would raise the color temperature a bit and give it more room 'to fly into' on the left.

Superb flying posture Gary, and pin sharp. Love the droplets visible on the belly. Well captured Gary.

Hey Gary, Quite excellent and a good job with the repost. Love the killer wing position. For the repost I did a 16 pixel blur on the BKGR to smooth it out and then lightened the whole thing.

[Tony Whitehead]

Superb job, Gary. The fluttering scapulars and waterdrops on the breast are lovely. Artie's repost lifts it a notch.

[Doug Brown]

Nice job with the original Gary! Artie's repost improves significantly on a solid image.
