Excellent portrait, Charles.
The reflection colors are a great backdrop.
I've yet to capture a good mandarin, so I will admire your capture. #1480868

OUTSTANDING
These are ALWAYS TOUGH to SHOOT as something is almost always off with all that color & texture.
YOU NAILED IT MY FRIEND CONGRATS !!

I have to agree with them Charles. I've tried to get a good shot of a mandarin but they are so quick I have yet to get a one that is in focus. Congratulations! Well done! #10280951
