    The face seems to be out of focus a little, but that's my only critique. Hope that helps.

    Like the angle here, Greg. Agree that the face isn't totally sharp, but I don't think it affects the overall composition.

    Just curious did you also shoot this in IR ? Nice job of making this guy pop as they say.

    It has nice color, composition and angle. The face should be the sharpest part of the photo, advice for next time. The trees do blend into his head a little much also, but the shallow DOF helps.

    John, jspot1980, I did return to this and I hope the focus is better second time around.
    Monkeywrenh, sorry no IR but it's a thought.
    GB1, I agree about the background, that's why I shot such a narrow DOF. I have other angles with no trees but I lost the left side of his face when I moved around.
    Thanks all for your time again.....
