Taken in some local woods where light can sometimes be a problem

Canon 50D,Canon 500f4L,ISO 400,f5.6,1/200

A classic pose, and a nice image witha good BG. The head area looks a tag 'soft' on my monitor though. Other than that a classic 'Nutty'
Regards,

Great image, but as Paul commented the head is just a little soft.

Still one I would be quite happy with. :toast:

A classic pose and excellent composition. As already mentioned, the critical focus doesn't look to be on the head but still a very nice image.

Lovely BG and pose karen but think you may just be able to work the head a bit re sharpening as it is only a tiny bit soft.
