I like this as presented -- the lighting is dramatic, the background is gorgeous, and the pose is interesting

[Bill Dix]

Gorgeous pose, comp and detail. I particularly love the eye focused on the business at hand (or bill).

[Ken Watkins]

Dumay,

Well this certainly puts my recent effort in the shade, how close were you?

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks Scott and Bill...Much appreciated....Sorry Ken you must of posted as I posted, I must have been about 5-6 meters away

[Stu Bowie]

Dumay, these guys never cease to amaze with their preening poses. Super comp, and you have captured the detail nicely. The eye sure is focussed on the task at hand. Well captured.

[Michael Zajac]

I like the sharpness and the pose. nice work.

[denise ippolito]

I really like the sharp eye and the pose.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks for all the kind comments folks

[Chris Kotze]

Excellent comp detail and sharpness Super close-up

[Arthur Morris]

As noted above, superb on all counts with a luscious BKGR. My only gripe is with the bird for the unfortunate position of the eyeball.... TAT (thanks a ton) for your membership support.

Priceless pose and such sharp detail. Magic image Dumay.
