Hi Bill,

Welcome to BPN if I didn't before :)

Lovely profile, excellent whites and profile. Wish he/she had turned you way a bit and maybe go back a couple of points in the green?
Did yo use flash?

Fabs;
Thanks for your comments.
This was in the Late afternoon sun and no flash was used.

I like the detail, background, and composition. I agree that the green may be a little strong but the position relative to the camera seems fine to me. You have to take what they give you. Thanks for sharing.
