like the pose Troy, I recommend trying Fab's technique to soften the harsh shadow lines. I would also bring down the highlights and sharpen the details more. TFS

Thank you Arash, it is a great idea.
I am on CS4, will still give it a shot sometimes.

Hi Troy - like the pose - exposure looks good -agree with Arash's points - clouds in the BG add to the scene.
Like it :)

Hi Troy,Great wing position,exposure and lighting. Sharpening the details would add to an already nice image...
