After Artie's comment on my previous shot, I am determined to get the head angle right so I went out after work yesterday once again and hopefully this shoot has improved. Not as dramatic as the previous shot. Hope you like it.

The HA and light is better here but I do miss the preening.

I think that looks much better, Troy, in terms of the parallel head plane. Beautiful capture.

Me too. I can always go back :) which I will after work today.

Fabulous background and beautiful lighting... great shot. I didn't see the first one, but this is a fine image.

Hey Troy,
I think this works on it's own.....but like the others the preen is a bit more dynamic. Stil a vg shot on it's own.

Light and BG look great...HA looks a lot better than yesterdays...Nice textures overall...Nicely done Troy
