Great shot Stuart. The flight angle, wing position and HA are beautiful. Very sharp and well exposed and the bigger format really shows the details well. Great colors and the BG makes for a nice showcase for this clear capture. Very Nice!

Thank you all for the feedback and comments.

Coool flight pose Stuart. Would opening up the shadows under the near wing add anything to this?
