  Awesome closeup - nice 'whiskers'. Do you also have a full length body shot? Just curious as to what the rest of the musketeer looks like :) Esther

  Is this a portrait or a real person?
Whatever the case, it is a beautiful
closeup and composition. Lou

  Great portrait, UV! What species is this anyway? It doesn't look like any of the other birds, cats or primates you've captured before? ha! Really nice work here!

  This looks like it came right out of the pages of an art history book.
Excellent portrait Ulysses.
Is this a self portrait by any chance?

  Ulysses, you are just brimming with talent! What a wonderful shot. I love everything about it! I'd like to see this in B&W and SEPIA, too. Did you try them? If so, did they turn out this wonderful, as well? I agree with Lonnie! 100%. :) -Laura

Ulysses A. Villamin
  Thanks a lot for the awesome responses, everyone!!! Modesty aside, I made this image on a relatively 'bad day'. I was kind of upset about somethings and quite bored. I tried to get rid of that boredom by opening images to work on my entry for the day. I have tried a lot of images but I don't seem very much 'in tune'. I was strugling to come up with a 'concept'. I just feel really bored and felt I want to do a different routine or something like that.

After trying to play with a lot of my pictures, I came up with this image and thought I would mess it up. Fortunately, it turned out this way! I, too, was excited on the result!

It really feels good that you, guys, enjoyed it to. I appreciate all the wonderful comments!!!

  When stressed, flip it over to MICRO and take some fun little close ups. Try it.

So glad you did what you did with this one little Bro! CHIN UP, okay? :) xo-Sis
