    Details and eye contact look good. I would give it more room at the top and am wondering if fill flash would have helped in this light.

    Hi Bob,

    The spot light on the eye has worked well here. I liked the details captured, though it looks a bit over sharpened. The top portion of the green background suites well, but the right side lower background looks distracting. A little space on top may have helped.

    Rgds,

    In addition to the above comments I would add that it would have been nice to have the sun illuminating the eye instead of the area behind the eye. I with Axel here about the utility of fill flash. Thanks for posting!

    The highlights in the head make this image for me. I have to agree with Axel.

    Ah, I finally get to disagree with Sudhir. The alleged spotlight does not work for me as the eye is in shadow. And I simply do not like flitered light unless there is a perfect spotlight on the head.
