That stare is killer! Easy to see how they got their name. Low angle is where it's at.
Front of neck looks a bit hot, and I think it might be worth taming the blue hues.
A very memorable image regardless
Dan:
An amazing stare. Agree about the whites. I am getting in the 240 range, and not much detail showing up. Great shooting angle.
I might also consider a subtle gradient filter on the bottom of the frame.
Cheers
