My favorite of the Nickerson bunch. Took a while to get the desired sky-dune background in the distance.
Canon 600mm f/4 IS II on EOS 1D Mark IV
1/3200 at f/5.6, ISO 640
Processed in LR CC. Bit of extra sharpening on eye and a bit of local exposure knockdown on brightest bit of forehead.
Simply perfect Dorian.
So sharp. perfect HA, fabulous light.
BG is beautiful.
I would be doing a happy dance with this frame!

There is really nothing you can do to improve on this frame, except maybe to see my signature at the bottom instead:t3. Way to go man, this simply rocks.
