    Great landing pose, and good focus on the head. Lovely BG. Were it mine I might have been tempted to even out the URC to make the BG more layered, but it works just fine as posted.

    Frank, very nice landing pose and great details. Looks a bit bright and I'd suggest reducing the exposure by about -0.3EV. Loi

    Exposure looks spot on to me, and you acquired good details. Fun landing pose.

    Frank, sorry for making such a dumb comment. I should not have made such a comment on an uncalibrated monitor. Exposure is spot on on my better (and calibrated) monitor. Loi
