    Good one Dan, looks like a stainless steel beak. Just a little bit of blue/cyan cast.
    Nicely sharp. You did a good rescue job!

    Man, this guy was right on top of you, but the proximity and angle make this a tough composition. I also see a significant blue cast. Uneven slide lighting isn't ideal, but it seems your recovery was decent.

    Dan:

    Certainly in your face, makes me want to duck! Agree with Colin and Dorian. I find it a bit washed out looking because of the color cast and contrast. The overall lighting was not easy to work with.

    Cheers

    Now, there's a view you don't get often. Tough light you handled reasonably but love that face. TFS

    Like the framing and those eyes. Yes to warming the image up a bit.
