    Hi David,
    Very well done - nice details throughout and good wing position allowing us to see the entire body unobstructed. The blue BG really sets off this beauty well.

    I like the composition though maybe a tiny bit tight at the top. Great exposure and details.. The highlight ring doesn't really bother me but you may wish considering using the healing tool.

    Very nice colors and sharpness. Did you use flash, or did you open up the shadows a lot? To my eye, the image looks a bit unnatural because I see a lot of brightness where I would expect shadows, and there are a lot of highlights on the tail hiding a bit of that lovely color.
