There's a lot of things I would have liked to fix/correct, but I thought it was a pretty good shot for zero editing. Apparently I'm in the minority.
Why do I need to VALIDATE this PHOTO? I finished 71st out of 79! Can't do much worse then that! I was saying I liked the photo, and if it wasn't minimal editing (zero editing) I would have adjusted and corrected a lot of things, like the top left wing!

For me, had the color been more vibrant or maybe desaturated 100%, I would have scored it higher. With the subdued colors it looks flat to me. I do like the composition and tight closeup.
