Incredible portrait!!! I really like the serene face (sorry my bad english, I speak portuguese)

I've favorited and tagged this one "QUALITY" and am hoping you will join and post it to:
www.flickr.com/groups/quality_photography/,
where photographic quality like this gets the recognition it deserves and inspires others...

QUALITY!

Das ist in der Tat ein fantastisches Bild. Ausdruck, Komposition, technische Ausführung sind Spitze. Ich muss auch sagen, dass mir der Bursche als "fellow creature" deutlich sympatischer ist als Kröten, Schlangen und Insekten. Mein heutiges "favorite".

Dunno if I like the rework, never saw the original and the PP on the left side is a bit obvious. Which I'd have been to tactful to mention, except on the other hand I have to say it is an absolutely brilliant capture and I'd have stuck a "quality" tag on it if I hadn'r been beaten to it. Fantastic capture of an amazing expression.

Amazing. He's stunning. I think it's a combination of the ears, the hair style, the shape of the head, and of course that expression on his face.

Ohhhh. I feel sadness when I see this photo. First of all it is such a wonderful shot. Beautiful lighting.... But he seems dejected, depressed, lonely, and sad. I feel for him. His shoulders....this large cranium, big ears, and fuzzy hair. If I could give him a big hug, I would. :(

Both versions of this photo are absolutely stellar. But probably I like this version a little more. Either way, this is one of the most intriguing images in all of Flickrdom, IMHO.
