Love it Ed !!! I like the eye contact and complementing tones About the only thing I would do is take a little form the top, just the lighter stripes. Normally don't like very light tones on the borders !!! Excellent image !!!

Very nice Ed, good detail in the whites and browns.

Great angle, details and exposure control. I would also crop a bit off the top.
