I agree with Doug. I would add that it otherwise does look like a posed
portrait, almost too perfect and maybe a little static. By the way, not to
pick on Oly but a worthwhile comment on AF, I think; have you seen the print
ad for the E-3 that is a close up of a painted face? The focus misses the
eyes and has the painted skin sharp? Maybe a deliberate tactic? Bothers the
heck out of me though.

Cheers

For me the point of focus is a problem, otherwise this would be a fine
portrait.  Well done considering the circumstances.
