Hi John ...oh so lovely .
Love the comp and the overall color and tones . I think well exposed having the conditions in mind ... black subject against the sky !!! Well done.
Like the small per-a-boo effect created by the leaves covering the face .
Might change the blues in the fur and drop the blacks a fraction .

Hi John - Love the stretch and the sharp eye peeking through and the falling leaves. There seems to be a bit more red in the fur in this image than the previous one.

TFS,
Rachel
