I really like this, Richard. You have a great atmosphere, and setting, and I just love how the road is included. Great look at you, and great title. Really a fun image.
Great shot!!
I personally like the crop with the inclusion of the road. Almost looks like it is waiting for a ride. :)
Great pose, nice details, and exposed well.
Well done.
Hope you gave him a lift...classic composition R.ichard. I find this very clever with an excellent placement of the bird and disappearing roadway...I think the dof is perfect
