Looks great, Barry. The edit turned out fantastic. You should have a lot of pride in this shot regardless of the score. Ok, sorry for the horrible pun. :) I'm quite interested to see the final score, though, too!
The final edit came out well. You held back a bit on the strong golden tones and made the fantastic eye detail into the star of the shot. (No vote, comment only)
Brilliant shot. Processing is just right , not overdone. Color and tones are pefect. Well may be just a tiny tad crisper in the eyes. Overall an almost perfect shot, well done (no vote)
