    From where I am sitting this could not be better. Love the sharpness and the sweet background. This one touches all the bases for a tight head portrait.

    with love, arite

    When I looked at the thumbnail I did not think I would like this but I was wrong.
    The IQ and feather detail are superb.
    A beautiful portrait indeed,
    Gail

    The detail and lighting are superb. I am a huge fan of headshots, and I'd love to call this one mine!
