    Hey Dave, I missed out on a portrait shot like this on my recent trip, so looking at this Im really green. Love the light, the stare, and this is really sharp. Perfect pose you got yourself here. Well done.

    David,
    Nice image. I like the composition. The light levels were low. Else, I would have been tempted for higher depth of field. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    I think he saw you David :). Very nice portrait. I like the detail and the transition of colors in the BG.
