This is a wonderfully sharp image John with a nice head turn towards you. It looks to me like it could use just a little more room on the left side though. Very nice!

The light is indeed great. Wonderful image. I too would prefer a little more room on the left.

Lighting and sharpness in the repost and in the larger version are really nice.

Repost is outstanding John. The image looks brighter overall...and more room on the left, I like it!

A beautiful quiet, soft image.  Agree with Steve regarding positioning within frame.
