you do great work This pic would be better if the nose wasnt distorded. shadow?

This is a very nice shot, good lighting.

Not sure what happened with the nose shadow, I guess it's a by-product or artifact from the low-resolution jpg conversion in the upload. The original print looks fine. Thank you for the warm regards. There are so many great artisits in these contests, I'm happy to learn something from everyone's creativity and to have some votes as well. Cheers, -Matt

This is a really cool shot!! Great job!!

Beautiful shot.....love the lighting
