    Hi Mike,
    Agree .....very nice.........might want to work on smoothing out circular BG shapes by signature........but again, nicely done.

    Great details and BG. Maybe a bit more saturation and/or contrast.

    Nice pose and soft colors, but it looks a little hazy to me. Might try upping the blacks a bit in selective color.

    Nice portrait, but another vote for increased contrast. Got this with Auto Levels in PS. Fixed the BG too.

    They look the same to me. Maybe it appears lighter here because of the white BG, compared with the dark BG on your website.

    Axel, check out the blacks in the wing... back and forth back and forth and then go to the yellows... definitely a difference. Not huge, but its there.;) I just wonder why?
