I really am going to hire you when I get back to Texas for some serious, in-depth PS lessons. I love what you did with him. I think it even more interesting that you went in search of and actually found an armadillo. Their only predator (that I know of) is a car. Neat critter.

It's nice to see something a bit different in the challenge, wasn't expecting to see an armadillo. The DOF is great and the sharpness on his textures is brilliant.

Now I like this a lot - I hope it doesn't get lost in the challenge . .

The B&W and the vignette work perfectly here.

Yanko. And if this isn't Yanko, he may be suing you for copyright infringement. The light, the tones, the detail, the texture - all spot on. Love the little catchlight in the eye, too. Really like the way this shows off this creatures amazing construction.
