Nice wingspan. I think the light could have been better to really get the wing contours and the sharp contrast.

The lighting on the wings is really nice. The tonal range is good as well as the contrast. Also, there's a good sense of depth to the picture created by the DOF. A really good photo.

I would like the super-dark background better if the foreground grass wasn't so dominating. As it is, the grass/background is hurting the composition.
