Gus
I think this is the best portrait image you have posted (recently). Very striking. I agree with Harold that the light blub is a wee bit distracting.

Well done!

Thank you Mr. Harold...:D Hey, I missed you on Sunday; what happened?

[Dave Phillips]

this is a nice one Gus. The color saturation seems perfect to me.
A few hot spots and a tad sharp on some neck feathers IMO.....very pleasing bg.

nice job sir!! :)

Beautiful shot Gus! I would eliminate the white stuff in the BG and back off a smidge on the sharpening. Very nice though!

Very nice Gus, this is the one everyone raved in class last night. Excellent colors and head angle. I like the way he is staring into space .
A big congrats on this one.
