Canon 40D, Canon 400 f/5.6L,
1/2500, f/6.3, ISO320, -.33EV, Eval metering. Tripod mounted.
CS4 adjustments.

The viewfinder is my guidance.
I like the curves and the fact that the eye is visible. It would be better if there was direct eye contact. Looks like a significant crop and sharpening has accentuated noise in the BG - seems to have a strange thread-like texture

Bill, Tony has covered all of the points that I would have raised. I do like your overall idea. Perhaps try it again when you get the next opportunity.
O K,Thanks guys. Pretty big crop it is!!! :(
The viewfinder is my guidance.
Yes to huge crop and mega-noisy. Could go a bit lighter. Interesting COMP but yes to more eye...
