Nice pose and exposure, Randy. I'm glad to see you still have some photos from this summer that you haven't posted yet. Can I assume you have enough to keep us entertained through the cold winter months? :wink:

Splendid photo!
I'd crop just a little from the bottom to get a slightly less centered composition, otherwise I really like it :toast:
