 Hope you enjoy. I waited for what seemed forever, he just wouldn't open his wings completely

That is a beautiful picture!  Didn't realize the wings are almost translucent!  Well done and lots of patience!

 Thanks guys. I think the translucence of the wings is mostly due to the angle of the strong sunlight.
