CommentThe direct eye contact draws me into this photo. I deliberably kept the underparts dark to keep attention on the head and neck, and the glow of the side highlighting. Unfortunately the foreground material bottom right is a bit distracting but a tighter cropping would cramp the subject, I think.
EquipmentCanon 80d; Canon EF 100-400 L Mk II zoom at 400 mm. ISO 1600, 1/320 at f5.6. Processed in Lightroom
