Pefect image! Defientely one of the top ones submitted. The lighting and the tonal range work perfectly! The detail is crisp, clear and in perfect focus. Really like the dark background with the slight highlight on the left side. The only thing I would change is the white border on the top and bottom. I think doing it all the way around would work.
Oh that is really good. Maybe a touch soft in the lower left (to our view) on the face, but I love the light and the use of negative space. I might've broadened the DOF just a smidge. :~)
