An excellent head study Paul. You must have got really 'up close and personal' for this one.

Hi Paul,

It's a nice up close and personal portrait. A couple of things that are lettting it down are that it appears to be suffering from camera shake, not sure if this is because you were so close or the shutter speed!! Also the colour seems to be a bit off, looks a bit yellow.

Regards

Rob
