Saw this originally on JPEG and am one of your "Yeahs". This is exactly the kind of tones that I was talking about in Cindi's thread, and that my shot, unfortunately, doesn't have. Great shot.
Steve, great shot and good to see you shooting what you like, this was one of three tens I gave out the whole challenge. I almost said in my comment this reminds of something pawdrix's would have done. I really like it. well done.
I'd like this picture if there was more going on in the bottom half of the shot. Sometimes empty space can be useful but in this case it draws your eye away from the subject.
