Hi Graham

A real feeling of contact with this one - looks as if he knows you're there and deciding what to do about it. Looks like the light was challenging but you got the eye out of shadow.

Looks good to me, and in awkward lighting, as has been said.
Digital cameras don't seem to like the old sun anyway ! :frown:
Cheers

Nothing wrong with it, but it just doesn't "grab" me.

I think you did well with what you had to work with, lighting, viewpoint etc..

I think for me, like Ray there's something lacking (lighting considered) perhaps viewpoint for me or maybe just needing to get a little closer - personal preference though.

nice image nonetheless Graham

Maybe a bit closer and a big larger . It looks like the image has been loaded up with only 500p on its longest side. Still a nice image!
