Fantastic capture, Allen! I like that it's sharp from top to bottom and the colors of the head are awesome! I really like the inclusion of the exuvia on the perch although I would like it even more if all of it were showing. Overall this one is great! :cheers:

This would be perfect for one of my fake black light images. :S3:

[Allen Sklar]

Love the colors, focus is perfect. See no room for improvement!

Great pose and sharpness, the blue works well with BG color while the green eyes pop! Excellent image.
