I wish I could have included the feet, but this was real close to the vehicle and just couldn't back up in time.

Sanjeev,

Nice picture good HA and the whites look well controlled. Background is good and not distracting the crop is the opportunity here. It is a bit tight and I might take another small layer off the bottom and remove the joints from the frame for a cleaner bottom edge.

Nice clear well lit eye and solid feather detail - well done.

Sanjeev, you have a technically solid image with good detail in the whites and solid blacks. As Jeff points out your exposure looks good. However, without the feet it just seems odd. You might be able to make a nice head-shot portrait, but the inclusion of the body really begs for feet.
