    Wonderful capture and effects. What an expression. Did you use any texture on the BKGR? Gear?

    Art, I didn't use a texture. I believe it was a combination of lighter grasses. I used a Nikon D300,500Mmm,1.4 tele.

    Hi Dave, Nice work on this. Great over the shoulder expression. Excellent use of filters, nice BG. A face only a mother could love! Well done!

    Whew!....This is very expressive! I wonder what he is thinking/ feeling. I think the effects that used were very successful! Ilove the eyes!

    Dave, I love the light in this image. Nice warm golden tones. Filter work looks great with all the detail and texture.
