this would make a great white on white challenge shot...

Nice high key shot. Excellent how the head, wing tips and feet are all nicely in focus. Well done!
Post actions
I am really like the over exposure on this. I actually said WOW when this came up on the screen during voting. Hope you ribbon with this one.

This is spectacular. If it's accepted as a portrait, should be in top 5 . Well based on the score thread I'm guessing this has been validated as a portrait! ;) Again, stunning capture, love the wings and the high key presentation.
Post actions
I think this is Paul and I'm bumping to a 10. Best in show.

This is divine/angelic! I predict a blue ribbon. Really exquisite, what more can I say.
Post actions
Gotta be a ribbon here because of the skill involved. Would love to know how you did it. Stylistically or maybe aesthetically, I prefer the more natural pictures. But that's just a matter of taste; and I can clearly see that this is a masterful photo.

Golly... There's no Eleven key, dang. This is so amazing! I hope it's a ribbon-winner for you. So far it's the only 10/wishful 11 I've given.
