Nice catch on this DF with dof where it's needed most and a smooth, complementary background. It's a lovely pose with excellent clarity. I've looked back and forth at both versions and think that this may be just a bit oversharpened. Although that could also relate to the large crop.

Fantastic colors and composition. I really like the pose, the wingspread creating some lovely lines and sense of movement without any blur. Really a treat to look at.

Terrific detail, a great pose, and wonderful color, all against a nice smooth bg. Excellent DF image, Tom. :toast:
