    Very well focused and composed, I would suggest lowering the contrast and perhaps the saturation a little, whilst I think it is a very good quality image I feel it is a little heavy.

    Slightly less saturation and contrast.

    Frank the second is perfect. Very nice shoot and background...for me a bit more space on the left (direction of the flight ) could give more dynamism to the photo!

    Wow, this is so cool, and the repost has kicked it up a few notches! I'm with Artie about the grass stems, but man this is very impressive.

    A real beauty Frank! I too would lose the grass stalks and then print and hang it on the wall!

    You are right, it looks better without grass stalks.
    All of you thank you very much.
