nice detail in that sad face--great subject--good portrait--nice job on the exposure.

Do me a favor and take a look at the photo of the muse in my gallery--show the gorilla and maybe he will smile.. I have a few macro shot of various monkeys & gorillas. Tell me what you think. #2653800

Very nice Tom, especially considering hand held and taken through glass. You've caught a glimpse of his soul! I really like this image. #2654109
