Colours and details look good, background is very effective. ( I did wonder at first if it was sharp enough but on looking in PSCC it is.)

Hi Joe a very nice portrait overall , the subject does stand out nicely from the pleasing BG .
Head turn and the stretched neck is cool .
Good work from capture to output :5
