    Nicely caught, the yellows and blues could be tempted to reveal some more detail with a little TLC luminosity and clarity/texture, the blacks appear very dense. I think you have a good shot but I feel it could be coaxed into revealing more. I feel it is one of those times when you look at the image and say less is more, i.e. a slightly more gentle and gradual approach to the initial processing of the raw file.

    Beautiful in-flight image! Great colors and background. sharp head to tail. Agree with Jonathan on dense blacks. I see more so underbelly, but blacks on tail look ok.

    Nice flight frame. I do like the crop and the background.
