Beautifull, excellent exposure, perfect BG, and as you, I like very much the wing position. Might just give a bit more saturation to the whole image. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
I see what you're talking about Axel. It's not from highlight recovery. The whites were held in the RAW file, and they closely resemble those in the photo as presented. I'll play around with it and see if I can get them looking better.
