Thx for the pep talk :) I did think about smoothing the hair a little (the gray hair make it even sharper) but i tried to keep it simple.
One day i will be in top 10 and maybe a ribbon.

Cheers!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Ha! I JUST commented on this... then went to see if there were any images waiting in the CC queue. They're randomly assigned and this popped up for me. Ha!

I do love the lighting... it's perfect, in my opinion. Absolutely ADORE the focus right there on your eye. Perfect, too.

The BW conversion is... well... perfect too. I also appreciate the way you didn't smooth your skin as some folks do. So masculine that way.

I don't know why this isn't at least in the Top Ten. Or why there were no comments during voting.

The only nit pick I can even come up with is that it seems overly sharp in some places... like the top of the hair and I'd have cloned out the white glinting whiskers. But, that's only because I'm searching hard to find something wrong. *grin*

No comments on this excellent image?

I thought I had commented during voting.

I love the low key... and the excellent lighting and focus... right where it should be.
