Lovely pose and great eye contact. It does look a tad soft on my monitor. Well composed and I like the crop you chose for this image. Many thanks for sharing James and congratulations on such a wonderful find.

Great find. it does look a little soft and are those sharpening halos around the eye.

It is soooo frustrating when they don't move into the light :)
