I like the eye contact, the very good HA and sharpness.
On my monitor it seems like the light was harsh, the image is very bright.
What do you think of that?
I like the setting, eye contact, BG and he looks a bit possessive. :) I like Gal's idea to make it a bit darker, adjusting the midtones would probably do the trick. I'm not sure if this is what Gal did.
