    Well exposed Andreas, and super techs! Nice pose too, subject is thirsty... or rather quenching his thirst.

    I like it, can almost feel the dry heat and scorching sun. Framing its great, colours spot-on. Shadow not too strong.
    A neat image with a clean background, well presented, good HA from the subject, very well processed with nice sharpness and detail

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Another fine shot Andreas, I lke the eyelashes and the water droplet. It would have been easy to lose detail in the neck but you did well withe the bright light. I am sensing a little less contrast in this image than I might have expected from you- no doubt due to the bright light.

    Hi Andreas -- Another fantastic image where details are great and subject looks lifelike on the screen. I think you have really mastered the skills in getting the images in those bright conditions, I feel the light is not that ideal but the resultant image is far better. The whites can so easily be blown . very nicely done.

    TFS !

    Killer portrait here. Spot on framing and detail. You handled the light very well.
