Wonderful eye contact, pose, hair-do, and sharpness. Looks a bit over-SAT ESP the upper inside of the mouth. BKGR a bit noisy. All in all quite well done with impact.

[Paul Pagano]

Nicely done, I have some similar shots from Sunday. Artie has covered my nits.

[Dave Phillips]

all agreed.....this is one fun image. The hairdo is amazing

[Phil Seu]

Good exposure control and cool hairdo. :) I agree on the noisy BG.

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Michael !!! I like it a lot !!! Would make the suggested changes and enter in the contest !! I think you will have a winner !!!!

[Jim Poor]

What a priceless expression! Maybe some NR on the BG, but with that face, the BG falls into the "who cares" category for me.

[Brutus Ostling]

This is a really good and fun one.
I have nothing to add, Artie has seen what can be made better. But that is still minor things, it's a good photo.

[Fabs Forns]

Hey, Michale, great capture, will be made better with a little less sharpening, but still easy to fix.
Glad you got at least part of your equipment back.
Hugs,
Fabs
