Amazing shot!
The focus is exactly where it should be, and it must have been a difficult task to achieve, considering the subject is alive and any tiny movement could've ruined a perfect shot.
The way you can see the texture on the subject's skin is amazing, it appears you can almost feel it through the photo it's an amazing detail.
The photo has an almost hipnotic effect, due to its focus, the color of the eyes draws you in, as if you almost can't look away if you watch it for too long.
Also, the subject is very beautiful!
Very well done!

Thanks a lot for this nice critique!
I hope I don't destroy it too much by saying that this shot was taken only as a try-out for a new camera lens, sometimes one is lucky I guess

No, you don't destroy it at all!
Sometimes the best shots are lucky ones.
I have one or two nice sunrise shots because I happened to look out the window at the right moment!

An incredibly well executed shot!
The framing of the subject allows you to precisely explore the subject's complexities while preserving a beautifully creamy bokeh to get lost in once you're able to break Lemmy's piercing gaze.
But this photo is phenomenal for more than just its gorgeous subject. Technically speaking, it's an incredibly impressive feat as Azph achieved such wonderful clarity and detail despite the size and incredibly close proximity of the subject; had there been any movement whatsoever (no matter how minute) the photo would've lost everything that makes it so captivating.
Needless to say, I'll be patiently anticipating the next piece of art that Azph has to submit for our viewing pleasure!
