Very nice capture. Very sharp. I can see your refelection in the duck's eye. Cool.

Stunningly beautiful. Great detail, soft lighting can't ask for more on a headshot like this

A lovely portrait Basri. Superb detail in both the whites and the blacks with that lovely soft tint on the breast make this a really special image.

I love the portrait on this Basri. Very nice detail...not sure if you are going for a overall dark appearance and understand this looks to have been shot in low light...but if it were mine, I might still move up your exposure a tad. I just think it would make this pop more and bring out some of the fine detail it looks like you captured in the blacks.
