D3 with 500vr + 1.7 tc, f/6.7, 1/1250, iso 1600, ev + 0.33, soft lighting, hand held.

[Dave Blinder]

Looks like you nailed it David. Outstanding eye contact, lighting, and clarity. Other than photoshopping in a dangling rabbit, I couldn't dare improve this one :)

Nice use of ISO 1600 when needed too.

[Joe Senzatimore]

WOW. Good to see ISO 1600 with a 1.7 look soooooo good. Great detail and very nice comp.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the light, eye contact and particularly the tilted head and would sharpen head and body some more. Some of the highlights could be toned down.

[Doug Brown]

Terrific eye contact. Agree about more sharpening.

[Kim Rollins]

Very nice.

Sharpening suggested already...

dust spot that I find distracting in sky upper right.

[david cramer]

Thanks for the feedback. Geez, how did that dust spot get by me?!? It is definitely distracting.

[arash_hazeghi]

Very nice pose David, I also see the need for more sharpening on my monitor. Great capture.

[Marina Scarr]

Love capture you have here, David. Like the motion in the wings and a great HA. Agree on the sharpening. Might consider a tad more saturation. Great get.

[Harshad Barve]

Amazing eye contact here and another vote for more sharpening
