Rob, very nice. Looks to me like it may be a little overexposed (with this laptop I cannot really tell) but IMHO this is a very very nice image.......one I'm busting my butt here in AR to get. Thanks for sharing. :)

Whoo hoo, Rob. You nailed a super shot. The light, pose, and background put this over the top. Good shooting with you,

Killer shot Rob! :) :) Wonderful position and light! I am not sure about the composition though - I would add some canvas and recrop it - would love to repost it if that's OK with you..

Great flight shot of this beauty! It looks a little bit overexposed on my monitor as well.

Here it is. Just added a bit of canvas to left and bottom. I did it in a minute just to give you the impression - not the best PS work.
