Nice underwing detail in difficult light conditions. Like the pano crop. I would suggest saturating the blue slightly more.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool gliding pose, eye contact and well exposed considering the harsh light. I might sharpen the head some more.

Good job, Peter. I really like the diagonal pose and underwing details. Looks to have a yellowish cast so I have pushed it a little toward blue and tried Chris's suggestion re the blue sky and Axel's re sharpening the head and eye. This revealed some dust bunnies in the sky so I have cleaned them too. Hope you don't mind.

thanks Chris . agree about saturation , I like what Tony has done..real improvement...

thanks Axel for comments...agree about head sharpening ..must pay more attention...

tony really appreciate you taking time out to improve image ,
dust bunnies with the D3 are a real pain....
