Very nice portrait of this impressive guy. I like the sideways lower jaw. It makes it look like he is thinking something mischievous. :wink:

The mouth is going to be the primary focus for most viewers! I hope you have similar with normal expression, too. Great techs.

Pretty light and pose for sure Ken, though I would prefer his jaw in place.

Ken: very nice capture in good light with spot on techs. I go back and forth in my own mind as to wanting to see the buck with his jaw aligned or as posed. Depends on the day. :wink: Richard

I think the comments regarding the "chewing"mouth illustrate how we all see things differently. personally I prefer these kind of shots rather than a "straight" shot :toast: :toast:
