    Good fun for sure. Nice symmetry and head on shot. Could you post the original as well to see how big of a crop it is?

    I really like this image, Phil. It's in your face. It's sharp and full of details where it needs to be. It's comical, and it's powerful.!

    awesome stare Phil. Lovely image. It's lacks a bit of IQ from the big crop, but still looks great :)

    What a goofy look! I love it! The head-on shots are difficult to pull off, and you certainly have in this case. A lot of nice detail for a head-on shot.

    Great image Phil! I like the DOF, sharpness, details and comical result of the tight crop.
