Nice one, Gorgina. Like the chosen comp and the BG is great. I've seen many in the wild, but never found one that didn't have any black (and I'd love to).

Nice image, Georgina. I have to wonder if the steel-eye could have been reduced or eliminated by takin the time to reposition the flash.

Georgina:

Stunning image, very well exposed. To add drama, I would have saturated more the yellow irises and eliminated the red eye with the burning tool.

A lovely shot with good comp, Georgina!
A slight boost in contrast would pop this one ...
