Are you sure you dont mean Styx as in the 1980's satin-suited pomp-rock band (come on Ron you are of the age and I can just see you with a lighter held high swaying to 'Lady')

Anyway, back on subject, having read the hassle you had with the flash I am pretty impressed that you got something as good as this, nice relaxed natural and regal pose and great sharpness and lighing on the face

Love colours too, which are soft without losing any of their power

Nice job

This cat knows he's cool, you can see it in the eyes. Nice detail and texture, good clear eyes.

There is a wonderful sense of tranquility in this shot. I liked the centred but at a slight angle composition

Very nice portrait for which I think the high key black and white works well

Am thinking the original might be quite bland? your post processing however have made this a really strong image - excellent work Ron :)

For an image that has a serene quality it seems to be tightly boxed in by the crop and the candles so close to the model. I wonder how this would have been if you took this concept in a more Zen, wide open space like direction?

You've really turned this old besmirched support structure into a work of art. Sweet detail of the little Xmas(?) lights and the little tree.

Nice shot :) I wonder if some heavy(ish) dodging/burning of the sky would add impact? the sky looks a little bland right now though the buildings pop.
