    Background, pose, comp all look good. I wish the light angle would have come from more directly behind you to prevent the shadows on the front part of the subject. I'd also look into cleaning the perch of the whitewash, if you don't mind that type of image manipulation.

    Good placement in the frame Nico, and I like the detail and sharpness.

    Nico, excellent comp. pose and HA. Nice clean BG. If mine, I'd brighten it a bit and remove second catchlight.
