Great lighting and catch. Composition is great also. Little noisy in the wing area but I am sure that was due to the higher ISO. Nice work.

I believe this is jlanoue's work. I have been watching your work as of late, and am so impressed with what you capture, and what you have brought to DPC. I have no idea how much work goes into these shots, but they are just incredible, and I hope more and more of DPC agree. Your equipment is just insance sweet. Beautiful capture, and really love the composition and colors here. Great work!!! 10 from me.
