That is an awesome perspective and pose Nico, and the underwing detail is real nice. Very good exosure considering the harsh light, and like the soft BG colors. Looks like it could use a bit more sharpening, but great capture!

Thank for your great comment Brendan, i have darken the bg to get rid of the harsh back lightning here's the original

Nice shot, did you "work" the shadows or use a better beam?

Thanks for your comment Humberto, i only work the shadows on the tail.

Nico, very dynamic pose and loved those diagonal lines in the BG. well done.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice pose, and I like the darkened BG. I'd look into darkening the leading edge of the far wing as that bright spot grabs my attention. You could also run some NR on the recovered tail shadow.

[Todd Frost]

Nice pose Nico. Good idea to darken bg. Agree with Daniel on the bright spot on wing and I too think a bit more sharpening would be good. Well done.
