The lightning on this...probably taking during sweet light time...and softness.I get the feeling of his soft fur, are what caught my eye on this one...look at all the scars on his face.."battle scars" what a story his face tells. cool mowhawk too.

He looked kind of sad to me with his head tilted over and I noticed the scars on his nose right away. Thanks.
