    Lovely. I like the pose, the BG and the drop. Light is great and the blacks and whites are perfectly exposed. Boy, you are good!

    Ofer:


    Excellent techs, fine sense of isolation from background with this focal length and f/stop. Light works well, with great eye.

    Shooting angle not too bad either.

    Congrats.

    Cheers

    Gorgeous. Love the light, pose, shooting angle, colors and BG. Terrific job hand-holding the 800 and, it would appear, keeping the focus point right on the eye. Well done.

    Absolutely stunning, Ofer. Glad to see you are making good use of your new glass. Love the water circles and the drop. The eye is killer as is the angle. The only thing that would improve this image in my mind would be a better "position" of the legs.

    Hard to even know what to say to this.
    Just superb, light, exposure, it just jumps off the screen.
    Excellent!

    Hi Ofer, tack, tack sharp, and the exposure on the Stilt is simply superb. I do like like low perspective and leaning pose, and the droplet puts this over the top. Great BG too. That lens sure produces the goods.

    The colors, the eye, that drop all amazing Ofer. The head is so nice and sharp I only wish the legs were too.
