This pretty lady came to rest after her morning flight. She was painted with a Nikon D200 using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4 D IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 1.7 T/C.

Princess Blu is an absolutely beautiful image. The detail combined with wonderful background colors are so attractive, complemented by the diagonals of the composition. I always look forward to seeing your "paintings" but am reluctant to comment on images because I don't feel competent to do so knowledgeably. But in this case, I couldn't resist. Really great. An inspiration for me.
