Good for you Lez68! A very nice portrait. You are much braver than I,I am at THE very bottom of my "want a photo of"list.:)
Thanks for the comment McBlondie, I needed a portrait of a male using artificial light for an assignment. thought id try this but not sure if im gonna use it, :-D
Super colour combination, unfortunately you are just not quite there with the focus. My guess would be you are shooting within the minimum focus distance ( 25cms approx 9 3/4" ); shoot further back and then crop in to enlarge.
Thanks for the advice macro, will have another go :D
