Hi Jack,

A nice clean BG on this shot and nice light on the subject. However, to me it looks like point of focus is on the trunk and not on the subject. With the nice light and your low ISO you could have put your f stop to 7.1 which would have given you a greater DOF.

Regards

Rob

The light looks harsh and from high up. You've done well to keep the whites from blowing but I think you could probably drag a little more detail from the blacks using curves perhaps.

And I think it could do with a bit more sharpening. Perhaps its lost some when converted to jpg.

Nice one.
