I love a photo where you can say "fine work" without looking at the large image first. Then when I look at the large image, I first have to swallow my envy, then offer congratulations. You done good! :toast:

That's gorgeous Chetan, my only suggestion would be to clone out the little white area at the top if your ethics allow it. A great shot of this species. :toast:

Sweet shot Chetan. I agree about the light area on top, but I understand if you do not want to clone. This is great as is. Awesome species.

A beautiful portrait! I'd agree with Nate about the "white" bit at the top, but it's also fine as-is. Wonderful work!
