Fantastic top side flight image Tim. You have maintained detail in the brights which is most evident on the enlarged image. One miner nit for me - there is a distinct black edge on both the top and bottom of the neck, most likely a sharpening artifact. When I am confronted with this I enlarge the image to 200 -400 percent and then carefully and tediously remove it in Photoshop with the rubber stamp tool.
