    I exposed this at +1 of the ambient and merged two scans to deal with the contrast.

    The backlighting is wonderful. I think it actually draws his eye out.

    This is beautifully done!
    And how wise to shoot twice and merge the two scans. Brings out some nice detail, despite the backlight. I really like this one.

    Oh, and welcome to ThePhotoForum, Scott!
