Really nice work on this one, Val. I have tried it a couple of times and haven't gotten anything nearly so good. You got the "wings" really well.

Thanks, Rory. Everything seemed to work while this image was shot. I look forward to putting some color on it. Now I've discovered that there are sub-wings as well, little structures even further out. What to do? I guess I'll never get everything.
