Hi Bill,

The composition is good and the cop fits the subject nicely and the sharpness is right on. The only element I think that hurts the image is the harsh sunlight.
This is one of those, only if you had one little cloud, type of image.

Hey Bill, I like the image amd you did a good job overall, but I agree with Robert, a little shade would have been nice. I very rarely let direct sun hit my images, I will carry a plamp and a diffuser to shade the subject. The sun will usually cause hasrh lighting and it tends to blow out the color.
