Great job with the PP. The details look really good too. I only have one nitpick about the darkened edges, so dark that it appears its head is floating in space? Perhaps slightly lightened to show some context? (no vote)

I like the simple and honest presentation of this. You leave the impact to the subject, and haven't used trickery to turn it into something more.

Wonderful focus. Those whiskers are almost touchable from here. Well done.

I particularly like the ever-so-slight tilt of his head that makes him look at the viewer with curiousity. also love the white beard.

the details in this one are outstanding - the light perfect to allow us to feel the dignity of his eyes - very good work
