Eyes to fall in love with ... if only I wasn't married for 33 years. *S* Your image is too light and needs more contrast. Also, it looks like you used a wide angle lens or a zoom in wide angle. Next time use a telephoto.

If you mark your name that it's ok ... people on here can post examples of how it could look better.

Agreed on the need for more contrast. Otherwise, beautiful!

Welcome. Great Shot! I love the angle and the crop! Everyone has already commented on the obvious.

Oh yes, and why don't you share your gear/setup with us for this shot and put it in your signature like most of us do. All us geeky photogs like to know how the shots are made.

thanks,
Matt
