    Excellent capture, these guys are tiny and it's hard to get close but you managed to pull out lots of detail. Perfect wing position and low angle. Congrats

    Gal:

    Nicely captured. I really like the scissored wing positions, so you can see the underside of the fore wing nicely and the top of the aft wing well. Nice HA, shooting angle and exposure.

    I wouldn't want it any sharper for fear of the cookie cutter look.

    I might add just a sliver of canvas at the top, but its very close as is.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Gal, its a nice capture with very good eye angle, however it looks a little dull in my monitor may be it's me only.
    I also agree with Randy's comment on increasing a little bit of canvas at the top.
    All in all a very good shot. Congratulations!!

    I like the angle, sharpness, raised wings and eye contact. I could see this as a vertical crop, too. I might raise the color temperature a little bit and lighten the shadow of the bill.

    WOW! This is super Gal. I wish for just a bit more room top and bottom. Excellent pose and eye contact!

    Great pose and detail, wonderfull low angle and BG, on my monitor it looks a tad underexposed and it could use some more saturation IMO.
    Congratulations!

    Gal, Really nice light and low angle-great to get the wings in that position.

    Nice composition with good eye contact. Nice sharpness. Agree w/ Ramon regarding the saturation and lightening up the exposure a bit. Overall excellent shot.

    Killer perfect pose, wing position, and head angle. Man, this is a good one. A bit brighter would likely improve it.

    Good sharp detail Gal, and you nailed the exposure too. Lovely show of the wings, and overall, a very pleasing image.

    Fantastic exposure and detail below the wings. Nice pose and I like the angle of the image.
    I may have given it a tad more space around.
