    Nice pose, good exposure and focus sharp. I like the comp and the in-focus foreground bush. You might want to lose the two twigs behind, and the little tangle under his chest. Can't do much about the light-colored BG stripe right through his head, but it's a nice clean image.

    I like the composition and the exposure of the whites. Too bad those light-colored stripes could not be avoided.
    I agree with Ron about removing those twigs, but I think it shouldn't be too hard removing the light stripes on the background (using masks, clone stamp, etc).

    Beautiful image, the stripes in the background don't bother me too much - but I agree with the suggestion you clone the twigs by the tail and thigh.

    Thank you all for the critique. My main focus with this image was the exposure on the whites in the harsh light I had to deal with. It seems the changes in my workflow accomplished that...at least I hope so. The other elements will be dealt with later on once I get comfortable editing images like this. I don't buy stuff to teach me how to edit images...it's mainly by reading and trial and error on what works for me. (I'm stubborn, not cheap...lol) Thankfully I have cooperative subjects at the place I frequent so there's no doubt I can adjust to remove the distrations without resorting to altering the image in Photoshop.
