Absolutely stunning. The lighting on his nose in combination with the fur hat. But you know what really does it for me? The teal green shirt. Something about it's color value that just sets it off! WOW - 10

Yup. Another Ribbon! I just don't seem to be exposed to enough interesting people. This guy is perfect for this challenge. I love the hat and the shirt color variations are very interesting.
