This is a great shot and I love the fact that you shot it with film! The only, and I repeat only, thing I would suggest is using a faster speed film. It is a little grainy and I personally think it takes away from the image a little with it being such a close shot. The color is amazing as well as the composition and it is perfectly focused. Film photography is a dying art and just the fact that you could make a shot like this without looking at it afterwards is commendable. Great shot and keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for the critique and high ratings! I used 400 iso here, I think 800 could have been more appropriate as it would yield less grain. I usually stick to 400 as it's a bit cheaper. Film is kind of an expensive hobby. I have so many rolls I need to have developed! I held off from having it developed for awhile, as I was looking for a cheaper means without loosing quality. I haven't found such a place. so now I have a box of undeveloped film waiting. Anyway, thanks again

You are most welcome! And 100 iso would have less grain.
