Extraordinary! Such a terrific pose. Your timing was perfect and that background is so flattering. Makes the life and death dynamic really come alive if that doesn’t sound too stupid. It seems a bit tilted though, maybe a CCW shift. What skills. Bravo. ---

I’m late here but have to echo how amazing this is! But for me, I’d definitely do a CCW rotation to level the “horizon”. ---

Thank you so much friends! 🙏 I agree it needs some CCV rotation, many times I get carried away by the magnitude of moment. ---
