Some fantastic shots there mate, well done.

[dpSparhawk]

Cheers mate

[cybollox]

super details there Ian,

[Mystical_2K]

wow, great shots mate

[{{909}}]

they work well with the background, a lot of the time these sorts of shots are focussed on the 'oh wow you can see its eyeballs', but these are well composed and sit well as artistic photography, as well as record photography.

[dpSparhawk]

Cheers guys. Appreciate the comments

Clive I know what you mean mate and I am as guilty as many others for frequently trying to make sure the eye is the most dominant feature. However often the detail in the anatomy structure is far more interesting and of course the surroundings. Cheers also
