    Hi Brendon - This one works very well. Love the eye. Excellent sharpness despite the slow ss. You really are the master of these spotlight images.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    You sure have a knack for these spotlit shots, Brendon! Love it!!
    She must be like paused in time for the sharpness at this shutter speed All you need is some mist coming from her mouth next!

    Awesome image, Buddy! This reminds me of the spotlight photography with lions that we did with you at EP (and reminds me to get on with processing my images from that trip ). Like I said, great image, and I was to nit-pick maybe consider backing off on the crop along the top - seems a tiny bit tight above the ears.

    Expertly pulled off in your signature style, Brendon.
    I too felt it was a tad tight on top...
    Love the eye and stare.
