Oh my, I hate to suggest anything here but I wonder what selectively lightening the iris just a tad more would do? Otherwise I have nothing else to say but WOW!

[Doug Brown]

Really nice Chas! I'm with Daniel on the iris, but I'd only lighten it a little. Beautiful detail and a classic pose.

[Greg Basco]

Chas, beautiful light and a great composition. Really pops from the dark green BG.

Cheers,

Lovely Portrait and to think one of these has been spotted of Co Kerry Ireland today!!

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great one! I love it, I would just like to see a bit more room all arround, but still a terrific shot! Congratulatinos!

[Juan Aragonés]

Fantastic portrait of a fantastic species Charles. I agree about the need for some more room but it is a great presentation for web (we can see more details) and some additional work to lighten the eye. Congratulations for such a fine image and thanks for sharing
