Sweet BG colors and a nice pose, with good detail. I could wish for more DOF. :smile:

I like the pose, comp and colors, Charlie. Very nice bg. The chosen dof looks exactly right for capturing the subject in a single image and maintaining a nice bg. Excellent image. :toast:

Although this looks like it's about to take off, this pose is called the "obelisk" and it's a way for the df to stay cool by reducing solar gain. The sharpness of the df is right where it's important, the pose is great and the background colors are very attractive. Well done.
