Dumay:

Such characters! Excellent lighting with good angle, so minimal shadowing of eye.

Parallel to film plane works great for this bill.

Nice bg. Well framed.

Cheers

Good one Dumay. Good gentle background too. Good when they sit like a 90% square on banana!
Excellent work. Could do with some of these over here.
