I hope this photo does justice to Sean's memory.
"True Grit" was a John Wayne movie for which he won an Oscar.(1969) For the movie buffs out there I didn't think it was necessary to include an eye-patch!
Thank you Brian for showing "true grit" and letting me photograph you.

Beautiful use of dappled light, and, duotone fits the picture perfectly. I probably would have tried to burn the blown-out areas of the tree in the left a bit more. Great image.
Like the gritty face, but the shadows are very distracting to me. Like the gnarled tree comparison with the cowboy's wrinkles. Does he have long hair? Can't quite tell, and that's distracting as well. Coloring is just a little too green.
