Yep, ........ an excellent "in your face" shot with the added little bits of texture that says, ....... "hey, this is who I am"!

Comp, lighting, details, .......... love it Tom!!

Hi Tom
A real pleasing image with some great textures added by the dirt / mud and I like the way the little guys head emerges from the darkness of his home. My only very small suggestion would be to have a little more room right for him to look into. A rather small preference about a lovely shot.

Regards
Matthew

Very nice. A reflector or some fill flash would have helped to open up some detail in the eye and on the face.
Very nice as is though.
Thanks for posting,
