That is quite the stunning image.  Love the composition and tones.  I try to get that perspective with birds at closer ranges but rarely do.

Metallic. Polished. Technical. Modern Art. Love the lighting of this extraterrestrial life form.

Very beautiful image ! :)

Your Mitutoyo is very sharp.

I wonder how long takes you computer to process such image ?

Well done, Francis.

Quite stunning ! I guess I'm much to lazy to achieve such perfection... :-)
