Ken,
Nicely combed mane. Who is the hair stylist? :D Reminds me of college days. :cool::D
Sharp and nice. I would have loved a little more space at the top. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

He is winking at you because he knows how hard you are working to Hand Hold the 500 at 1/320. He can see you shaking!!
Seriously, I like the detail and the exposure. I agree about room at the top and wish his head were raised just a bit. Still- great image as is I am just making constructive suggestions.

I did have a little more room but not a complete mane, the struggle to hand hold was getting a little bit too much after an hour of endless mating. By the way the missing bit of mane was a little windswept and not as tidy as the rest. Next time I will remember my bean bag!

Healthy looking male Ken, and looks like he's had a few battles already. I would tone the colour on him a tad, and maybe add some contrast.

Handsome guy. Nicely detailed. Room up top mentioned (and explained). I see just a tiny bit of cyan/blue cast in th white fur.

Great detail in the face and the mane. I really like the wink.

The continual problem I have is that when I look at my final JPEG in PS it looks Ok, and when I post it here it becomes more "washed-out". Can anybody point out to me what I am doing wrong?
