Hi Aditya,

Sharp shot. Liked the pose and the low angle. Would have loved a bit more eye contact.

Nice composition.

Aditya,

I like the low angle. The image is sharp. I would have loved a bit of head twist towards you. That would have enhanced the eye contact. I might have been tempted to use ISO 200 and f8 in this scene. That would have given some more depth of field and brought the vegetation into focus.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
