We're getting lots of DF images in the gallery, Sandy, but I don't recall seeing this variety before. The black wings and gray body are unique and very cool. Great detail on the wings. :toast:

I've never seen this type of DF before Sandy, it really has an interesting color to it. The solid sky background really sets off the colors and detail.
