He must have been a juvenile to let me get this close.

Nice intent stare on this guy, Ric. The angle is a bit steep...

Excellent detail in this portrait and beautiful eye contact although I would wish for more of a head turn. I agree with Jody that the angle is a little steep. If it had been possible to move back some it would have lessened the angle. Still a very lovely capture Ric with good exposure. thanks for sharing.

A beautiful specimen. I would have take the image too. This is a juvenile ,as you can tell by the straw colored eye. They turn dark brown as adults.
