Very nice! Colours, details, composition...a very successful portrait!
Steve;
Well exposed, nice display of green and purple on head, sharp.
These guys are always a challenge to show the full range from the blacks to the whites and the patch on the bill which often blows out. I might try and tease out a little bit more detail in the darks on the shoulder.
Looks like there was something in the way on the lowest area of the breast, slight haze.
I like the composition.
Cheers

Such beautifull colours and detail. Nice comp too.
Steve, I think your choice of comp has managed to capture every colour this guy has.:w3 In doing that, you have brought out and exposed them very well. The lighter water BG makes them pop even more.
Beautifully done portrait, loved the colors and details here.. comp works well too... :cheers:
A beauty, lovely sharp portrait, ditto all above comments TFS:cheers:
A real beauty Steve! I like the composition, sharpness and pose.
Beautiful light and colours. Looks sharp with excellent detail.
Lovely colors and detail...Good IQ and light make it for me!
Just too good !! The clarity is stunning !!
The sweet light helped you get a terrific exposure. Great sharpness and a nice pose. Well done Steve!
