I like the detail you can see in the larger image as well as the pose. I not too fond of the B&W, would like to see the color version. Thanks for sharing.

I think I prefer the color in this case, Peter. The image doesn't seem to have enough contrast to justify B&W treatment. Nice flight pose and the exposure looks good.

Peter, thanks for posting the color version. I do prefer it over the B&W, but that is just my preference. Thanks for sharing.
