Wow David ,for me when I open a Image and it pops off the screen that first second you know your looking at something special.Nothing to fix here.
Great colors detail.

Very nice David.
The IQ is excellent and the best image you have shown recently.
A bit more of a head turn would have been nice but not a deal breaker.
If mine, I would clone out the second catchlight and burn the highlights on the bill slightly.
Well done,
Gail

A real beauty David. I like the clarity, details, BG and composition. I agree that this is your best recent image that I have seen.
