Good job with the flash, Marc. Nice pose and the bg isn't unduly distracting.

Fine use of the beamer to put enought light on this fellow to make him "pop." Great detail, nice pose, and a subtle BG - kind of "busy" but not distracting at all.
Well done!

Beautiful photograph. Thank you too for mentioning the Better Beamer which I didn't know about. I am learning so much here in so short a period of time.
