Great high key image and super breeding colors. Nice pose and HA. I would move him up in the frame a little having less white empty space on top and a bit more body at the bottom.

Clemens, no more room on the bottom. So only have the option to take the top off a bit more. Go ahead and do a repost if you like, I would love to see your version. Thank you.

Troy,

Here is my view as repost. I feel that with head shots you do not have to keep the eye on the line of thirds necessarily.

[Troy Lim]

Looks good. Thank you.

It's probabaly just me but I find the background too bright, I end up squinting when looking at it.
Maybe it could be broken up with a slight irregular tint.

It is called high key :tinysmile_shy_t:

nice Troy I like Clemens's crop. post larger man. The small size photos don't really stand out on this site ;)

[Ron Sprunger]

High key indeed, and very well done. I love it, and agree with Arash about posting larger. Just curious whether you would consider putting a border around high key images. I had to reset my preferences for black background to see this one properly.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot. I love the high key, great head angle and expsoed very well. I really like the repost.
Well done.

Either composition works for me, and I love, love, love the white sky/high key look.

[Jim Crosswell]

Beautiful image Troy. I like the high key, breeding colours and sharpness.

[Troy Lim]

Sorry about the small size image guys. I usually post in several forum and most only allow up to 800. Will try my best next time.

[Daniel Cadieux]

As a fan of high-key images I like this one alot. White-on-white works well too, especially with those nice breeding colours. I agree a thin black border helps for those who don't use the darker themes for the forums.
