    Wow. WOW. Truly awaken some old evil, sleeping for many a year. Look into the eyes of Beelzebub!
    Ferdy, the essence of croq my man. Is this HDR btw? I love the contrast, the color in the evilness of eyes, the lack surrounding it. One cool mother of the Nile!     Posted 12 years ago

      Thanks Ludo, I'm most pleased with this one as well. This one is not an HDR, but I did do some slight post processing. I increased the "shadows" in Lightroom, which brings out a lot of detail. Posted 12 years ago
