Nice and sharp Oscar, and great pose. VG for HH. Might crop just a bit from the top???

[Lance Peters]

Hi Oz - cool, agree with Jackie a little crop from the top.
Good Ha and eye contact and nice sharp details throughout.

A little halo around the front lower breast area???

Good show :)

Nice pose, exposure, perch and detail. Looks like it satisfies the rule of thirds, but to me it just looks unbalanced with so much clear canvas on the right and top. Beautiful subject. Interested n what others think.

Hi Oscar Good exposure for the harsh light and good light angle !!! Good point by Mark regarding the balance, moving the image to the right just a bit will do it !! I like it a lot !!!

[Katie Rupp]

Lovely detail, sharp and I like the eye contact, Oscar. Congrats!
