Done before maybe but nice shot Joe. Maybe a dramatic vertical crop would give some "clout ". Including the reflection :frown:
Cheers

its allmost full frame :frown:

The wing/tail angles are great. If it's almost full frame then a crop to vertical should be easy and like John, I think it would work very well.

Nice shot, Joe. I echo the suggestion on the vertical crop. :smile:

I think the pose is a bit distracting and it doesn't really work that well for me Joe. Good exposure though.

Agree about the crop suggestions. Only nit would be the tightness of the reflection to the bottom of the frame but otherwise its a nice looking shot :smile:
