    Stunning BG and awesome color and detail. This is so sharp and the exposure is right on. I love it. If I were to change anything it would be for a tad more of a head turn but think it is outstanding as is, Congratulations on this beauty.

    D-O-F good but f/11 might have sharpened up the tail a bit more. Pretty much a perfect image but for a head turn to 90 degrees.

    Wonderful BG.
    I agree about the head turn but also understand is not so easy at times. Great details.

    A bit more of a head turn to achieve some good eye contact and this one would go right over the top, still, BG, light and exposure are very nice! Congratulations!
