wounded bird

That's a wonderful shot, the lighting and contrast in it is really beautiful. It helps so much to define shape and form of your model and to bring out values such as the strong eye shadow in the left picture. Plus it certainly feels as if you waited for just the right moment to release the shutter.

The only thing that I feel a little unsure about is the amount of artifacts. A pristine look would certainly not fit the photo, but...to me it feels more like digital noise rather than film grain at the moment.
That aside however, wonderful work!
