Your comments welcome as always.

Nice portrait, with the straw stuck out from his mouth, but I feel that the frame is a little tight. Granted, not a lot you can do if he just pops up when you're already at full length lens-wise

Beautiful portrait! You could add a little canvas if you wanted, but I actually don't mind it being tight. I might tone down the knuckle of green stuff on the right as it catches my eye a little.

Nits covered.
Nice close up.

Great focus on the eye, and the piece of of straw adds a nice touch. A very pleasing portrait indeed.

Lovely detailed close up.

Lovely close up, Maggie. The straw is a very nice bonus.

Hi Maggie

Just a touch too close for me but easily remedied, otherwise fine

Cheers

Hi Maggie

Agree with the above, but feel it needs a bit more selective sharpening, especially the eye, as that is the focus point for me.

Only nits are it's a bit too tight in the frame and not quite as sharp as it could be, especially as Stevo says, around the eye.

Good stuff though Maggie.

Lovely portrait Maggie - nit covered. Like the bit of straw too

Nits covered .A nice little study though .

I like it Maggie, some good detail, well done

Hello Maggie.

Nice closeup.

But what I like about this is the Image within the eye.

Nits covered.
