    Hey Ian, I love the wing position here, great timing to capture this and freeze the motion. My main issue here is the side lighting. It isn't a moody enough photo for it to be effectively side-lit. I'm also seeing some noise in the black underwing. You've controlled the whites nicely though - this may have forced you to light the shadowed and black areas in post - which would've added the noise (I'm guessing this is what happened!)

    Nice shot.
    I really like the pose, nice shooting angle, and great comp.
    I agree on the side lighting. Maybe if the light wasn't as harsh it would have worked better.
    Wel done.

    Love the wing position and head-on view, Ian. Nice detail in both the whites and shadows. The side lighting unfortunately keeps it from being a "WOW" image, but I still like it a lot.

    The side lighting works for me and this gave you some neat texture to the lit wing, it's just the overall IQ is not 100%, not crisp...perhaps a bigger crop than you'd like. Awesome wing positions.
