Nice detail in his face, Verdon. And another nice rack. What do you think of burning down or cloning out the tree to the left of his hat?

I quite like the low angle you managed to obtain here Verdon, and that big rack and the chewing expression are interesting element that grab the viewer's attention. Choosing your DOF in this case is a difficult one; ideally the BG would be a bit more blurred, but not the FG. Not sure if you managed to get the chance to shoot this at different apertures in the field, but that is something I might have done here (if the opportunity to do so was there at all

). I would not suggest to clone that tree on the left out, but burning it down a little (together with the other lighter trunks) sounds like a very good suggestion to me.

I think his face and rack are stunning in their detail and color.
