Very nice, Akos. Sharp from tip to tip, and a good angle of approach.

Nice angle and light, Akos. It looks nice and sharp at this scale.

I really like the lighting and sharpness Akos. Just enough detail under the wings to work very well with all the other positive aspects of the image. Love to see a larger version for my own appreciation of the image and for better critique but understand why some don't do it.
