Your hard work paid off for you. Nice balance of warm and cool colors. The intensity of his stare is great. Your description of the setup makes me feel the chill and determination you felt.

Your patience, observation and planning paid off, Drew. I love the eye level view, the head on perspective, the sweet detail, lovely colours and light.

A beautiful image. Well done!
