    Okay Dan - Here Goes: Brilliant capture of a trophy animal in gorgeous light. Eye contact is piercing and I can feel the coat with my eyes. Grass in front doesn't bother me but perhaps a smidge off the top wouldn't hurt. Looks like you are going for a double on image of week.

    Dan,

    Love the crispness, the background, the grass isn't an issue. The horn seems just the slightest bit tight on the right side of the frame, by only like an 1/16th an inch. I know its a really hard compromise to giving room for the look verses the rest.

    Beauty of a portrait Dan. Nice detail and I like the reflected sky and mountains in the eye. Gotta get up there.

    Brilliant IQ Dan, and this is amazingly sharp. Great portrait. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.

    Very nice portrait. Great HA and details, agree about a little tight on the right side. There is an OOF branch that seems to be sticking him in the eye, no biggie though. I would love the opportunity to photograph these one day.

    Love the excellent detail and eye contact in this capture. Stunning image and I feel like I could reach out and touch him. Fine work Dan.
