    Nice detail, I would like to see a bit more space and DOF...Maybe f10 to get the back foot sharp. I would also try get rid of the black patch in the top RHC. Lovely glint in the eye!

    Hi Frank, as you had the SS you could have gone for a bit more DOF like Dumay mentioned, although 600 HH

    Depending on your ethics, the removal of the black patch would be good and less eye catching, plus I think there is more detail you can get from the eye and nose without it looking artificial. If you have applied any additional black in the face, I might again just ease off?

    Hi Frank - nice pov and close-up portrait of one of these guys. Good suggestions above for improving it both now and in the future in the field.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    nice portrait Frank - repost is a huge improvement!
    Steve - 600mm HH is apparently quite easy with the new version that Frank brandishes
