You really nailed the exposure and sharpness Denise! Very pretty.

I agree, excellent exposure. Composition-wise I'm wishing to see more of the neck...feels like it's cut too short. I still like it though, and I too like the squinted eye :-)

Great exposure control, details and the squinted eye adds interest. It might work as vertical crop, too.

I like this guy's expression. It looks like he's got something on his mind. Pretty light, too. I agree with Axel in that a vertical might work well if you have more neck to include.

Pin, pin sharp Denise, and those whites are perfectly exposed. Superb image.

Sorry no extra room -this is pretty much how I shot it. I probably should have done a vertical in camera but hind sight you know!
