He wouldn't have any look at all if someone pulled his eyes out. Thanks to you, this photo gets me close enough to do just that!

JK, JK...

Thank you kindly. I like to think these close up portraits are my bread and butter, but every now and again I get one that I really like. This one definitely caught my eye. Glad you like it too!

I have to agree with you, this image stands far above others, animal or human. Β

Thanks. I've referred to this guy as a glamor model several times, but it always bears repeating. He's just so photogenic!

Thank you. I love tight crops like this, which is a good thing, because that's about all you can get with these guys a lot of the time. The only lens I have that can see through the fencing is my 300mm, so when they're up close, I have to cram as much face into the shot as I can. Makes for some fun compositions though.

The clarity and fine detail is wonderfully beautiful, one could fall right into the whole photo,and pat him, if one did that sort of thing.... you have some beautiful photo's.... Β Nev

Thanks so much for the compliments. I've seen some great detail on this guy in previous shots of mine, but for whatever reason, the lighting this time just really made him sparkle like the beauty star he is. Definitely a pettable-looking guy.

Thanks. As I said to someone else, when these guys are up close, I have to cram as much face into my photos as I can, or risk having the fencing show up in the shot. It definitely worked out in my favor in this shot though.Β
