Hi Basri. Excellent capture of this DF. Your title captures what I like about the image - the wing design. I also like the exceptional bg - nice and clean with the subtle shades of color. Finally, I like the position of the DF in the frame. Thanks for sharing. :toast:

Great detail in the DF and its wings! Terrific capture against a nice soft background! To my eye, this seems just a touch over sharpened.

Nice DF portrait!
Good comp, colours, and DOF.
Seems a little over-sharpened to me also, and I'd personally clone out that flower tip that looks as if it's growing out of the DG head.

Very nice wing detail. I agree with Sandy about the flower spike, it's a bit distracting. Wonderful bg and pose. Nicely done

Beautiful image of this lovely DG, Basri! Nice clean BG and the comp is spot on. :wavey:
