    Superb image, woderfully exposed. Youu do not mention the f/stop, as focus appears to be on the wing. Of course it is difficult to tell on the web at this res.
    Again...super image.

    Best,

    Chas

    I like the idea of backlighting those wings - the detail and veins stand out. Those wings look like a crab claw. I like the position of the wings in the frame.

    Hi Ofer,
    I like the backlighting on the wing, it adds a surreal affect to the wonderful composition.
    Difficult to comment on the detail on my computer, but impressed and enjoy your new lens.
    Thanks for sharing, Mark.

    HUGE congratulations on your new toy, Ofer. I know you have been chomping at the bit for that lens for some time!

    Love this image and the ability to see all the veins in the wings. Head Looks sharp to me. I think it's all that bright fur under the foxes chin that makes it look different. This is truly a unique one, Ofer. You can spend a lot of time looking at this picture.
