    Beautiful pose composition and light, great eye contact, I would suggest however that you lower the highlights

    I love the elegant pose and you have a superb BG and a nice low angle. Blacks look great but yes the whites could and should be toned down a bit more. Nicely;y done overall.

    Hi Graeme, great low perspective, and the lookback pose has turned out well with the bill separated from body. Excellent exposure, and I do like the OOF sea BG.
