Love the diagonal of the wings going across the photo and the eye contact. Nice crisp shot Dennis.

I think we all quickly go through our shots, looking for the few standouts we can share with our family and friends at home and on the forums. We tend to move on from there to the next series we shoot. You go back at some point, looking for a particular shot, and while browsing through those old shots you notice one or two that should have made the first edit.

Like the way you framed it and the hawk-eyed look it's giving you. Good job Dennis!
