    As your title suggests, the layered background really makes the image. Nicely done.

    I like the wing position and the tiered BG. some of the blacks look too heavy and can use reduction of contrast, there are some shadows and just a tad dark on my monitor, but not too bad. sharp

    Dan:

    The 'rainbow' background is interesting, and I find this often doesn't work well, but does here. Agree about the blacks. Not technically block based on their values, but I would be tempted to tease out a bit more detail if possible.

    Framing is effective. Normally I would consider more above, but the dark wingtip blends in enough with the background that its proximity to the frame edge is bothersome.

    Cheers

    Thanks Arash, I agree about the blacks and the contrast, I shot this in full sun at the coast which I rarely like.

    Hi Dan, I really like the image. The background is lovely, the bands of color are unique. Very sharp image, blacks noted in previous comment. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice and sharp. Light was not ideal but you have handled that very well.
