and yet he is wearing a hat--sort of. Go figure!

I saw this Native American during Bald Eagle Days in Keokuk last weekend. I asked his permission to take this shot. I used the Nikon D7000 with the 50mm 1.8 lens and filled the frame with this closeup.

That bear had excellent dental checkups I'm sure. I wonder what tribe this fellow represents. I just watched a video on the Mound builders of Cahokia. Impressive image.

The shot is very nice, very good close up, but I wouldn't like to see this so close live. LOL

A good capture of this dedicated Bears fan, though I thought they were out of contention. A nice portrait of this fine looking fellow. Good details in the photo.

Sharp focus and great colours in this image of the man with the "hat" - That bear looks almost alive Tick.

I saw a guy on TV with a hat similar to that, only it was a pig! I think he was an Arkansas Razorback fan at a game! LOL. Great job with this close up, Tick. Very interesting, a good portrait, and a great people shot.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Tick - You present a nice portrait here. The overhead light highlights the bear hat snout and teeth that leads the eye to the face of the person being photographed. Kudos! Thad
