I like it John !!! Fine exposure for the back lit image Excellent position and love the pose You did real well with the scan I know how much of a pain they can be !!!! Congrats !!!!

Love the composition. I think you need to run the image with a NR software. The catch light looks a little over done since I don't see any evidence of flash used. However, I could be wrong.

Beautiful image... Nicely captured.

A really good image with a beautiful background. I think it would be even better without the leaves.

I beg to differ with Steve. I think the leaves add softness and atmosphere to the image.

I beg your pardon, David.
