Hi John, a commical capture and a nice departure from previous postings, nice one.

As this is HH I think you could have afforded a tad more on the SS based on the ISO, just to ensure you capture that moment 'sharp'. I might just 'burn' the ears and tongue a bit more, just to give some of the finer details more prominence. Personal choice, but I might have gone for a pure black backdrop without the hints of green peppering, however I think you could loose a sliver from the top.

Appears you are enjoying the 5D4, great, the IQ clearly shows.

PS Perhaps you should hook up with Rachel next time as you both live in NY?

Hi John - As Steve said a fun image! Steve has made good suggestions above. I would definitely try to darken the area of green that intersects the mouth and go to black there if it were mine. The blacks of the nose look better here with more detail. Nice one.

Steve - NY is a big state. I went to college in Ithaca and it's a little over a 4 hour drive from NYC.

TFS,
Rachel
