Hi Wiliam - looks like you had some harsh light to deal with here - some of the whites are starting to push the envelope and overall the image looks a little contrasty - softer light would have been the key here.

You have a good HA and eye contact - looks a tad too sharp on my screen and may need a tad of CW rotation.

Looking forward to seeing more :)

Hi William Lance nailed the critique !!! Just try softer light !!!

For sharpening I would try going way over then back down so it looks normal Might be a little easier to judge, this one is a bit over !!! Excellent image !!!

Hi William,
I like the capture, but yes, the harsh light was not in your favor...agree with Mr. Peters on his assessment...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
