I found this when looking for another image. I took it in 2008 and, for some reason, didn't process it.
Would have preferred a bit of head turn but......

Rob,
How did you miss this, it is marvelous!!
The obsession with head angle mystifies me, flat to the sensor would make this far less interesting :toast: :toast:

Not sure what amount of head turn would improve this image :confused: I like it very much as is.
