Simply brilliant. Is there a little more room for sharpening? I sincerely feel that such images take on a totally different dimension when the sharpening is higher than usual, or at least high enough to not look soft. The sharpening also emphasizes the rim-light effect, and since there isn't much detail on the body, it won't look oversharpened. Just my two cents. Everything else is utterly magical here, and kudos to your timing. If I'm not being too greedy, a warmer white balance and a slightly wider scape I think would make it more dramatic.
