    Beautiful poses, very elegant picture. There's two things that would improve this IMO, selecting the female's eye and making it show if possible, and running some noise reduction or blurring in the background.
    It is stunning!

    Love the soft light, the great behavior, and the mini island for two. Good points by Fabs. Thanks for posting!

    Since we are on the subject of the female's head, I would also prefer a better angle on her's. Nice wing spread on the top one!

    All good comments above. Lovely pose and elegant image design but to me, it lacks punch, especially the wings which look blah... Maybe it's the noise...
