Ken,

you managed to get a very good portrait under the difficult light conditions. The image looks very well balanced from that point of view and the special setup in the "forest" is also very nice.

Great devil

That is one intense look on this guy's face.  What's the deal with that little bit of pink tongue sticking out?  It's interesting to see that.  He  sure seems to be looking very hard at something.
Well done; great detail in this, and good control of the brights and darks.
