 Shot in 2005 with my 300D. Wanted to enter it in the best of 2005 challenge, but since I had already posted it in my portfolio I didn't think it was appropriate... since then I felt I should have entered it anyway, and now I'm able to do just that! It truly is a hidden gem of mine, hope it does well...

Very nice detail; always tough with a flight shot. Light is a bit flatter than I like and he could use a catchlight in the eye.
