Good morning Kimberly
This is a very good frame. Very good. It is one of those rare times when I agree that the subject is best almost completely filling the frame like this. You have beautifully captured the poignancy of the moment. Choosing to present in black and white adds to the mood engendered by this image. I wonder if it would appreciate a hug? Added to my favourites and downloaded to my desktop.

I completely agree with Romane. This image has more than enough detail by itself that it ever could with more in the frame. Beautiful work here!

Wonderful detail, and b&w was a perfect choice. Very nice shot!

Great detail and wonderful focus. I do like the B&W choice on this one. Nice shot!

Marvelous close up of this handsome looking fellow. Really like the detail, texture and clarity. I really like this in B/W. Super post

Well done. I also like the B+W. Good job.
