Lovely shot - super detail. There is a slight blue cast to this on my monitor, easy to fix in PS.

Marvelous shot. I would take some of the blue cast out or the image. Excellent shot.

Yes, maybe a slight blue cast, but really love the comp in how it makes the eyes move from left to right.
Outstanding details on this little beauty!! 8)

Beautiful shot with lovely detail Herman. I agree the slight cast could do with warming up a touch but that's my only nit on this great shot! 8) 8) 8) 8) :D
