Is the shadow on the face distracting?

Nicely done Lady Denise...I like the action...your whites are in check, displaying the fine details and the color rendition is dead on...love the eye...good show...:cool:

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Details, use of DOF and exposure control look great. The shadow doesn't bother me. Does it need a bit CCW rotation?

[denise ippolito]

Thanks guys!
Axel, It might need a rotation-thanks!

[Dave Mills]

Hey Denise...Beautiful light and right on exposure. I like the position of the head and the leg and the fact you left more room on the right. I agree that the shadow is not much of an issue.

Excellent detail and exposure captured in this Denise. Well done.
