Kevin, That is an interesting composition! I love the split head with just a small inclusion of the neck-

I like the unique comp and the colors.

Kevin,

I like this comp especially the placement of the nostril. A good way to go, tight, with zoo animals - great work thinking outside of the box.

I love the crop as well, Kevin. My one thought is maybe to think about adding a small catchlight to the eye if possible?
