One of your best Verdon. Lovely light, pose, setting, eye contact and details. Would have liked to have seen this larger.

Excellent pose and composition, Verdon. Detail looks pretty good. I do see a couple of white areas on the back that look as if they might be blown. If you're shooting in Raw, they might be recoverable. A very pleasing image.

Nice job in getting this difficult contrast type shot with good feather detail and I also like that you can see the pupil in the eye, way to go.

Nice comp and perch on the diagonal Verdon, like this view of it's backside.
Great details, head turn, and catchlight too..
Well done & have a great weekend! :wavey:
