Hi Chris, I like the warm and rich colours, and the colour in his eyes. BG is nicely blurred. Not sure if it is just me but it seems a tiny bit soft around his teeth..Also in a perfect world his other ear would have been perked up too...
Nice looking male

nice shot Chris...great eye contact and colours as Grant mentioned. I also immediately noticed the softness around the mouth - could it be he moved slightly during the 1/250 exposure or was he so close that f7.1 was too shallow?

Eye contact and the peaceful expression make this one for me. the s/s is the culprit of the soft mouth. Still a very nice image.

Hi Chris It is interesting that the teeth are soft but the bottom of chin not? .. not sure what went on !! Like the pose and look .. would take the little bit of green up top !!! Excellent !!!

Nice pose, soft light, and colors. Agree with Alfred re the strange softness in the teeth only.

Thanks for the comments. Ditto softness on the teeth :confused: 5 frames and they are all the same.
