Nice detail & colour...I like it!

Striking colors, extraordinary detail, and noise-free (at any ISO).
You were apparently quite close @400mm... but still a little unexpected softness at LR (back of neck) which wouldn't seem to be caused by shallow DOF? This is not critical I think...

A beautiful image,

i think the eye is misplaced in the frame. i think this would be better as a vertical placing the eye one of the intersecting lines on top of the ROT. the colors and detail are awesome!! just feel like i want to see more down below.

I am fine with the SQ crop and the COMP. The image is too dark overall and the colors look somewhat funky.

I tried to lighten the whole thing and that introduced a ton of artifacting in the BKGR. I tried to balance the color and was equally successful <smile> I did try though.
