Interesting pose and nice exposure Christopher. I like the blue of the eye ring with the background colors. Detail, sharpness and DOF all look good. Nicely done.

I like the composition of this image. You handled the whites very well with lots of detail. I also like the way the blue olf the eye is picked up by the blue sky. Very nice image.
