I prefer Tim's version out of the two. Just gives the whites a lift. Great shot. The pose and angle makes it for me here.

Another corker Vince, on my monitor it also needs a little 'levels' but I would love to have it in my collection :toast:

Outstanding image, great uncluttered background, love the fact that the image has been captured at the end of a wingbeat so the primaries are nice and separate.
Definately an image to aspire to.
Cheers
