    That is a belter, pin sharp and great detail, gorgeous colours and a good pose. DOF is pretty good too, along with the background.

    Beautiful pose and comp, Stuart.
    The whites look just a tad hot on the top of the wing to me.
    I love the feet.

    Hi Stuart,
    I am late to the party but wanted to say the IQ and light are wonderful!
    Maybe tone down the whites a little tiny bit?
