great to see you got one in good light. love the pose and eye contact. I would back off on sharpening a bit and also the whites look grey as posted. Excellent dark BG and would be nice to post 1024 pixels for this site.

very cool :cheers:

The sharpening is a stupid side effect from picking the resized image from Flickr. Haha! I reposted the original, hopefully its not oversharpened looking anymore. Thanks for the critique Arash!
