Thats a fine specimen Tony, well done getting a shot with the "eyes" showing! A little large in the frame, but shows some great detail!

I'm a fan of large in the frame images, so this suits me fine.

Very nice indeed.

A great looking species and a good image.

Works for me. A very clean and simple shot which allows the attention to be drawn to the eyes.

Very nice Tony, great detail throughout. I especially love the eyes, in fact it looks like a little face

A very fine capture.

Hope to see you soon.
