Nice composition and good isolation of the subject from the background. Looks like the left wings are outside of your field of focus, though; you need to make sure you have sufficient depth of field close in. Personally I'd always rather see the more distant points of a subject outside the field of focus than the closer points.

I'm being very picky because I would be very proud to have this shot. This is one of the few times, my first impression is you should have backed off a little. Also, I am bothered by the out-of focus head. Overall, a great shot!.

Nice composition and good lighting make this a fine image. I find the bright spots/lines in the background a bit distracting. You might consider cloning them out in the scan. Just my 2 cents.

A beautiful picture. It would have been nice to have the entire wing in focus. Ed
