Small crop shot of an old Dagga male taken in Kenya.   Playing with Topaz again.  Please feel free to view image large.  Thanks.  Much of what you see is the mud that this bad boy bathed in.  (Aberdares NP, at Mountain Lodge).

Absolutely striking image, Dave! The lovely black and white conversion, and the beautiful texture on the Dagga and background, push this image over the top. And viewed large, these characteristics are only amplified. Such a fine, handsome image, Dave! Definitely one to be proud of. Wish it were mine.   8)

Wow- excellent, Dave! Such character portrayed, with beautiful contrasts and clarity. The background is perfect-a real winning wall-hanger!

A very powerful and compelling image, beautifully enhanced to give a stunning result Dave. Any artwork that has the ability to stir the emotions of the viewer is a real winner in my book, and this has it in spades! Brilliant!! Love it.
