    This is really nice John. Love the soft spotlight effect on the eye and cheek and the way the light fades away from the light source.
    Great BG.
    I also like the shadow on the neck. Very nice play of shadow and light.
    Well done,
    gail

    The spotlight effect is nice but I would tone it down just a tad...

    I see what you went for here. I have to admit that I am torn on this one. The effect is neat, but maybe too much. This is one of those images that the degree of "liking" it changes up and down every time I come back to it, if that makes sense. The IQ is excellent, so are the colours.

    Ditto on Gail's thoughts. The framing and the light/shadows just work for me. TFS
