Hi Ed. I like the detail in the image. I do find the vegetation in the URC to be somewhat distracting. And I would like better eye contact.

Nice flash work, exposure and BG. I can't imagine handholding that lens! Agree with Doug 100% on the critique.

[Phil Ertel]

Got to hand it to you; to get this good of detail hand holding a 800 at 1/300s is pretty impressive to me. Doug covered my observations. Thanks for sharing.

Doug covered the URC issue.. the rest looks very nice. Congratulations!
