This image has some problems (light angle esp.) but i really like it. had to crop out a complicated reflection near the right edge - couldn't match the pattern with QM and too much hassle with clone tool. added some color saturation, fill light and cropped in LR - did some selective levels adj in PS, resized and sharpened. Hope you like it!

Great tittle Bruce !!!! ..... what did you tell him :)
As presented would crop from top and bottom for proportion Do like the pose and angle Its a good image Keep in mind for the next one the light angle They just don't work with the light from the hard left !!!
Hey Bruce,
I like it very much. Not your tipical pose; but hey its nice. I you could just crop just a tad from the left of the frame it would impact more...:)
thanks again for all the looks and critiques. i tried cropping some off the left side at Robert O Tool's suggestion - looks better. I've learned more about photography just since I've been taking advise from people who know of what they speak, than I learned in the hit and miss approach I was taking since I bought my 30D more than 1 1/2 years ago. This is great!
