Excellent Daniel, as always.

Great composition. Tough lighting. I think I would crop or clone out leaves in URC. They detract from this great composition. Cropping a little off the right would move his eyes right into the upper right 3rd.

Color is so perfect I feel like I could touch those leaves. :smile:

Ed - Great suggestion. Here is a re-cropped version. You have a good eye for composition.

Yet another great capture. Amazing how the impact improves with the crop.
