Great image Alan. Again it's the colours in the head and the reflection in the water that make it for me.

Very nice light and a great portrait... may be me but a little CW rotation needed?

Edit... I think it is me having looked again....

Hello Alan.

The light catching this one with the slightly darker back ground, makes for a cracking image to look at. Love the detail.
