Nice and sharp capture. Pity about the left wing, would have liked more underwing detail.

Very good techs, but good point from Clemens re: wing position.
It is nice to have a shooting location near to home.
Cheers

Lovely detail and nice and sharp.

Pose is a bit awkward as mentioned.

I think I would have preferred a more sideways view than the frontal view.. Of course it may not have been available.

Apart from wanting to see more of the right wing's (our left) underside I'm really digging this dynamic pose. I also like the blue on blue theme of the image. Was there something cloned out on the toe (I see a bit of smudging there)?

Thank you for your comments Daniel. I checked the Raw file and it was ok. The smudging is the result of my sloppy PP work ,from blurring the bg and not erasing carefully enough.:e3:e3. Thank you for pointing this out !
