That's freaking awesome, Nicky! Honestly, the other "f" word is what I said, but I'm being all proper 'n shit.

Having the tip of his nose appears to make him jump off the screen and get up in your face. I know his eyes are probably the intended focus, but I really like the corners of his mouth for some reason. And the sharp bit on his head makes me want to give him a little friendly head rub.

Fantastic! The eye detail is stunning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/14/2012 02:19:24 PM
I really like the image, if only you could have brought the focus forward so that the mouth to just behind the eyes were as clear as the eyesâ€Â¦. Still it's one of my favorites in this competition. I hope you place well.

 05/14/2012 12:11:12 PM
Not sure if you were after the blurred nose or not, but I would have preferred this shot with more sharpness there. The eyes are great but the nose detracts in my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/14/2012 10:45:30 AM
I totally love the perspective here. The eyes are fabulous.

I'm a bit put off by the nose being so OOF...

Oh this is great. The blurred nose just adds to the focus on his eyes. Creepy. :)
