One of the favourite images of my recent trip :)

7:47 AM, the rest is explained in the first image from this series.

M2N, Sigma 300-800/5.6 at 570mm, f8, 1/320 sec, ISO320, N3 remote switch, no lock up.

Thanks to Juan Aragonés @ BPN Forums who helped me a lot with detailed explanation how to PP better images like this :Beers: :)

Geez, what a beauty!
I think it needs minimal CCW rotation and I'd get rid of some off the bottom and clone the spots in the face in the reflection if it's OK with your ethics. A little more canvas on top would come handy. Sweet colors and nice specimen!

Hi Nikolay,
This is fabulous - that BG is to die for...where did you take this? Agree about cloning the spots in the reflection.
Regards,
Nicki

Agree with the slight rotation and would crop from the bottom to remove some of the oof reflections Love the pose and bg !!! Excellent !!
