Judges Comments

The eyes are beautifully sharp, and the pleasing background allows the subject to stand out clearly in the frame. Some detail has been lost in the highlights
due to clipped whites. Reducing the highlights would help recover detail in those areas. To strengthen the composition, a very slight crop from the right would
place the subject more effectively along the right third of the frame. A subtle darkening and vignette would help guide the viewer’s eye and keep attention on the subject.
