    I like how the feathers of the far wing are translucent.

    Looks good to me!! Perfect high-key treatment. The far wing looks especially appealing. If mine I'd lighten the eye's red iris a tad, and try to pull off more details in the feet (preferably during raw conversion). All in all a stunner!

    Hi Joe, I think I will just give you this month's theme all to yourself - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Another stunner, and Im liking your Spoonie images with their pink colour against the high key BG's. Great flying angle, and yes, the light through the far wing takes this up a few notches. Well captured.
