Great detail, color, dof and focus.

A nice portrait with a solid comp Jerry and I like those little catchlights in the eyes. The only thing that is distracting IMO are the BG branches, particularly the thin ones.

I ditto Vincent's comments. Great pose but the BG is a tad distracting. Comp wise I would have tried to get the eyes a little higher in the frame. If this is a crop maybe trim a little off the top and add to the bottom. You could also bring out more detail in the nose and left eye to bring the overall image up a notch.

Nice work Jerry
