Lovely pose and colours.
Looks like it could be improved a bit with a further round of sharpening.

Excellent colours. A really nice portrait. But I agree that it could probably do with a bit more sharpening.

Now this I do like Kev - very nice shot fella :toast: :toast:

One more round of USM at 30, 0.3, 0 would be the icing on the cake - set that as your default setting in PS, when you drop from 300 to 72dpi 3 rounds of of USM at those settings should give you tack sharp web jpegs.
