Wow, that is one colorful DF, especially the way the orange stands out from the green bg. Very striking. I like the pose and comp, and the detail in the DF is excellent. Excellent image, Tjie. :toast:

Looks pretty good for a shot taken under intense lighting. The colors are nice and bright and the wing veins have some interesting patterns. Contrasting background goes well with the orange tones..................Jim
