    This is a very fine high key image of a species that I love (and rarely get to photograph). The underwing details is superb, the black cap? Not so much. In addition, some Eye Doctor work might give it a bit more life.

    John, another pretty high key man. Love the effect the wingtips present at the given light angle.

    Composition works well for me. Would love a tad more eye contact but still great as presented.

    It has a touch of green hue to it, perhaps you might look at reducing and bumping magenta just a bit.

    TFS!

    I really like ether HK and wings in this one John! I also wish the eye was more visible, but still nice work!
