Like the expression and dark backdrop. Seems to be just a tad soft.

Pretty much perfect. I love those dark BKGRs. It looks sharp to me.

with love, artie

Looks good, Joe. Whites look nice against the dark BG, and the HA is perfect to get that open beak in sharp focus.

Wonderful job Joe, on my 5K Imac, sharp as a tack and exposure looks terrific well done! Go Joe

Great portrait. Like the green background and that open mouth.
