Ken - this works well, good detail and techs with a creamy bokeh.

Lovely portrait, Ken. Smooth BG makes it pop. Pretty good DOF given the aperture used, though it looks as though the tip of the nose might be a bit more OOF than the eyes...
Wanted to mention the blueish cast but I see Andreas posted a repost before I finished typing my comment.

Lovely clean BG and the IQ is some of the best I have seen from you. I do see quite a bit of blue especially in the white. ALso feel like it could do with a 3-4 degree CW rotation. I like the colors in Andreas repost.

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks everybody, I do see a slight blue cast not in TIFF only appears after conversion as far as I can see, it was an extremely dark "day".
As fir the rotation I am not sure why this could be necessary unless the OOF slope in the BG is causing an optical illusion?

Super detail Ken.

Fantastic portrait Ken. Very close and personal look.
