Red Gape and orbital ring... definitely an adult :). Thanks for the ID help.
Nice light HA, and exposure. The sky seems to be just about right too, maybe just a couple of points less saturation, but it could just be me. I wish for a less steep angle.
My first thought was the steepish angle. If you can find one at eye level that would be great. Good exposure on this guy - the whites look like they should. You can see the nictitating membrane covering most of the eye, wish we couldn't. I would also do some bill clean-up. Some may wish for a bit more room in front, but I'm OK with the comp.
