And how!!! I absolutely love this photo, it definitely deserves the rating. The character in this guy is unbelievable. There is depth in photography and depth in your subject and you've captured them both so well with this image.


I've forgotten most of what I wrote with your previous post, I hope it was worthwhile. This image is going to do very well in this competition and will be a lasting memory for you. Congrats.
