Love the side light with that face perfectly lit, the pose, the fantastic eye and catch light, the feather detail and the BG. Another JP classic. TFS

Lovely portrait with the feather a neat touch. Maybe it could do with another pass with Neat Image on the BG.
Perfect HA and engaged look.

Lovely frame with a great curious look! Details and exposure look spot-on. The whole frame does a strong pink cast, but that is an easy fix.

The title is great on this one. Solid frame all around. Like the tilted head.
