    Can't get much closer than that. (I can't even get within 100 yards of these guys.) Great color, detail, head angle; perfect exposure. Thanks for a nice start to the week.

    Doug, simply stunning close up portrait. I have never seen these guys in real life, let alone being this close. Loi

    Killer colors, light is also great but the fine details on whites is what makes this one for me.

    I was waiting for you to post this one! Detail still amazes me, and the colors don't get any better than this.
