Could be my monitor, but looks soft around the head area. Love the pose.

Beautiful color and a great action shot. Agree with Laurie that if the eye were sharper this would be outstanding.

I have to agree with the others, Wally. The head does appear a bit soft. I've only seen this species once and what a treat it was! Thanks for sharing.

Nice job with this tricky exposure; holding detail in the blacks without blowing some highlights is no mean feat.
