    Hi Robert,
    I love the blue BG and the composition.I would go a bit more vertical personally. I think it needs more sharpening . I would do some unsharp mask on this. Is this a big crop?

    Image looks focused and EXP is good. COMP is awkward and image quality does look suspect--the BKGR is mottled/splotchy.

    Judging by the oof shoulder and small f-stop, you must have been very close. Focus on the head and sharpness appear excellent. I am not sure about the shade of the background - looks a bit dark and off colour for sky. Maybe my monitor.
