I really like this pose. The eyes sure do catch your attention. I also like the way you exposed so the really bright whites have just enough detail to avoid being blown, but the "snowy" white impact still comes across. I wish the OOF weeds did not cover the tail, but not much you could do about that!
Nice to see another Vancouver Island shooter on here! This wonderful image isnt from this year is it? I imagine its from a few years back during the invasion?
Ed Cordes stole my critique! It is a dream come true seeing so many members doing gentle, substantive critiques.
Later and love, artie

Beautiful shot William., wonderful pose, light, and bg., my only suggestion would be more room on the right and top., it seems just a little too tight, imo.
