Very nice, Jim. The colors and details are great, with the "shadow" areas showing well from your fill. The detail colors in the eyes are a special treat.

Another excellent DF image, Jim. Color and detail are excellent against the nice bg, and I like the angled pose. Really clean and sharp for iso 1400 (although there is a dust spot directly above the top rear wing). Nice work.

Very good choice of fill to bring out the details and nice colors, Jim. This is a great illustration of how critical focus can be with long glass (even at f20) to get the detail where it counts. Fine close up work.
