I can't even imagine waiting to get this shot. It must have taken you forever to get such a perfect shot. Props.

darkSoul4Life@ariddle Thank you very much. Well it wasn't boring to wait because there were enough opportunities for other nice serval photos, so you can call it a lucky shot ;) .

Great image, looking off into the distance and allowing some space in front really works well, ear is slightly cropped its hard not to be sucked into the photo and miss a very small detail, good work

I love the intensity and the closeness of this shot. It makes you want to follow the eyes to see where he's looking.

Wow, such a clear crisp shot! I must say I do wish the top ear wasn't cut off, though slightly. The colors are fantastic!
