    Great light, nice exposure, and good sharpness. Like the smooth BG. I might increase the saturation just a little, and I'd like a slight head turn towards the viewer.

    Just sweet mate. Exposure looks spot on, but I would maybe try and add a touch of blacks to see the result. Tack sharp, and how I wish the action would pick up there - coz I would be back in a flash. Its ok for you, you work there:p OK, Im jealous. Cheers.

    Background, exposure, IQ all wonderful. Agree that the head angle could be better, but still a nice shot in my opinion.
