Very well done Therese. Colors, details & exposure looks spot on to me. And of course you always somehow manage to get the perfect background.

I can't help but notice that right eye. I wonder if that is caused from pollen?
Regardless neat shot for a scary day!

Happy Halloween, Therese!

Thanks Jim! Yep had me ol' reflector and Kenny had first shot at this fella since he has flash. I had to wait for the light to come in a bit.

I don't know what you've tweaked in your processing, but this is a cut above! Nice work. Did I say sharp?
