    Welcome Kurt. I like your comp with the rocks and grassy FG. Ram has a nice pose too. I like the way the shadow sort of frames the face. It looks like there's a rock in the BG right behind the middle of the nose, but I'm also seeing a bit of a halo of some sort around most of his head.

    Welcome to BPN Kurt!
    Agree with Harshad & Steve re. halo, could do with a round of USM on the Ram also.
    Has the makings of a fine portrait.

    Hi Kurt,
    Welcome to BPN!

    I agree with the comments regarding post processing. The shadow adds to the image and creates a pattern. Look forward to more images from you.

    Cheers,
