Great photo! Though it does appear to be quite noisy? I'm unfamiliar with the gear you were using, but maybe you shot it with film? Either way, good job

Fred, excellent composition, but the background is very noisy. Did you do a major crop?

 

[Fred Berg]

No major crop, just enough to bring the attention really to the subject. Perhaps the grain is due to the film/lens combination in the given light, which wasn't as much as I had hoped for. Here is the original:

Fred, I forgot you use film. That's most likely the cause of the noise. Still, one of, if not your best effort to date. Really nicely done.
