    Hi Chris, you nailed the reds, and overall exposure, and I like the pose and HA. Overall sharp, and your comp works well.

    I love barbets...had not seen this one before. TFS. Terrific look-back HA. If mine, I'd try reducing the contrast a bit. must have been harsh sunlight.

    Very good repost. There is a subtle difference after reducing the contrast that I liked.
