The colours work well and away from the norm, however I do feel somehow there is just a tad too much space, even for the BO to fly into. There is, what seems to be good detail, but sadly at this size it's difficult to confirm, however at low light and at 800 I think you have done very well. Might just want to even out the slightly darker mark just behind the body.
