Brilliant pose, love the detail and sharpness. Head angle is also very nice, fantastic BG, nicely done

What really makes this image for me is the wing position. The rest of the details are as usual perfect.

Beautiful shot Alan. I think you have the comp spot on and it is tack sharp. Love the wing spread and that HA with orange eye. Super image
