Wow very very nice! The BG is awesome, especially the dark head against the dark BG. Fantastic!

A gorgeous shot in every respect that could get elevated to phenomenal with a slight curves adjustment to lighten the darker regions slightly without touching the lighter regions. Definitely one of the nicest Black Phoebe shots I've seen.

Ditto EJ's comments. A fantastic image, but it seems slightly dark.
