And close it is... you got this at 100mm or at the other end 400mm??

Lovely details... the blue lining of the eyes look good. never knew they were blue earlier...

[Mrudul Godbole]

Sharp.Good eye contact and details. The head turn is interesting. The dark green BG adds to the composition. Nice potrait.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I like the composition. A slight head turn towards you would have been even better.

A nice portrait, but I see a tiny fall off in IQ around the head.
