    This was an image I really wanted to get this year. The lighting wasn't the best on him, so I had to brighten and introduced some noise. :( This one will have to do for this year. I'll try to get a better lit one next year! :)

    Happy New Year to everyone and all the best to you and yours!

    Beautiful image Jody! You couldn't ask for a better pose. Sharpness is excellent, and I love the hint of clouds. Well done! How are the snowies up in your neck of the woods this winter?

    Pose, eye contact, sharpness and BG all great - exposure and resultant noise are the only issue for me but you would have lost the nice sky detail with increased exposure.
