    Ken - good timing, nice sharpness and detail (love the visible taste buds). Is this full frame? I might prefer a little more room all around.

    TFS,

    Rachel,

    Thanks for your comment, it is nearly full frame as to height but not width. If I had pointed the camera in the right direction and moved the AF point a lot quicker then I may probaby have got someting a lot more usable, Next time

    Ken,
    Perfect timing and excellent techs. Little more space on the sides might have improve the image but as it is not a deal breaker IMO. Excellent view.

    Very nice shot. I love the "in your face" snarl. Excellent IQ and detail. I am OK with the comp as is,

    I like it a lot Ken. Great expression with the snarl and teeth. I suggest using Selective Color in PS and add black to black and neutral channels. That will give the image some POP in the blacks.

    Great in your face portrait Ken. Just a touch more contrast for me.

    repost pops nicely!
    love the snarl, great IQ...ideally I would have liked a tad more space on the RHS, but certainly no deal-breaker for me.
