Hello Jim,
a nice and colourful picture showing the main actor, the skipper, well focused and with pretty good sharpness. In spite of the diffently and brilliantly coloured areas, the skipper stands out clearly due to the sufficiently blurred background.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Jim,

Very unusual position of this Skipper. You caught him perfectly with no movement at all. Colors and details are excellent. The beautiful flowers add to it to make a lovely composition.

Hi Jim
You did a great job here. Nice POV. Very good sharpness and DOF. Great vivid saturated colors. The only (but small) problem here is little noise in buckground
I like it very much
Best wishes
