The light was a little strong so I used flash to help in this case:

D7000, Sigma 120-400, f11 @ 1/250 ISO 400, Tripod, Topaz Remask for selective adjustments, crop.

Like it. Looks like the flash worked very well here. I love those refracted highlights in the background. Being not overly bright, it adds another point of interest for me.

Excellent wing detail, fine flash lighting, nice speculars in the background as well.

Fine image of this handsome fellow. One of the most beautiful wing patterns for my taste and you have captured it beautifully. Well done.

Excellent pose and clean bg. Looks like the flash worked well to fill the shadows. Very nice!!
