Wow! I got a couple of harrier shots tonight that I was pleased with, yet they don't come close to this one. Great eye contact and pose. Outstanding!

Cool! I think I would add some canvas on the left and below. It would be so easy to do that it would be worth it just to see what it looks like.

Just outstanding. I will order your book immediately upon my return to Alaska. And I will refrain from posting my Harrier shots...
