Awww. . . I love this. I love that look. Like: I'm too cool and royal to be anything more than mildly curious about what the heck you are doing :) Nice composition.

Excellent color, however, it looks heavy on the noise reduction. There is a significant loss of detail.

Comment by snapz:
The following comments are meant to be helpful. I realize that they may sound harsh and even bruise your ego, this is not my intent. Please accept my apology in advance if I sound too much like Simon Cowell.

The possums face is not in focus. It seems only the rear 1/3 of his body has crisp focus. However, I understand that there was very little light to help you focus. I doubt I could get as much in focus as you did. It looks as if this was a very tough shot to get; perhaps you were on your belly to get this great perspective.

Your post processing could be neater. You should not burn (make darker) areas of a photo without a selection. If you had a selection around his eyes, nose and widows peak, your attempts at burning wouldn't be so apparent. The post processing of photos is analogous to a woman applying make up. Both look excellent when you can't tell either has been used.

If you are willing to pay for shipping, I have some Photoshop books I̢۪d be willing to send you. PM me if you are interested.

Good luck in this and future challenges!

Very nice! I am also a fan of random grafitti and shots such as this. The character and depth is fantastic! Congrats on your top 20 finish!
