The low viewpoint makes it, and I like the alert pose.

Hi Dennis

Nice alert pose - maybe a little tight in the frame!

Good detail and colour held well also bit tight

All been said. Lovely shot though.
Reminds me of days in Holland.

PS Sorry - forgot to say - A drop in gamma to about 80 really gives this some punch !

I agree with both Davids. Nice intimate portrait.

Cheers,
Chris

Very nice PoV Dennis with a perfect pose :wavey:

Lighting is a bit on the harsh side and it's a bit overexposed looking at your histogram, but a levels tweak in PS should do the trick - that's assuming you use PS :wink:

Great point of view, but as said a bit tight.

The comments on how to tweak a wee bit more out have all been said, but it's a nice viewpoint and a nice subject well captured.
