    I managed to capture this one, this evening, after it stopped raining and the sun showed for the last couple of hours.

    Thanks for looking.

    I like the hint of cloud in the BG. I also like the tilt of the head. A gliding pose, but just enough of a bank to make it more interesting.

    Beautiful banking pose, Very cool head angle and eye contact. I like the BG too.

    Hi William, looks like things are working out and your nailing the images, well done. Keeping a less contrasty background will help ensure you retain focus and prevent the lens from drifting/hunting.

    Excellent flight shot of a gorgeous lady in beautiful lights. Very nice IQ, BG and composition.
    I always love to watch design on her wardrobe. TFS.

    Just gorgeous -- I love the hint of complementary blue in the sky.
