Thanks for the wonderful comments and encouragement. This is a rare image in that, it was almost exactly what I was aiming for.
I splurged at Christmas and this is the first entry since I bought my 5D3. So... It must be the equipment taking better pictures. ;-)
Seriously though, I can't focus to save my life. My eyes are pretty bad. My old 500D did not help me much in that regard. So many soft images later, the 5D may save my bacon.

This had a powerful impact the first time I viewed it, however coming back, I just wish I could see both his eyes, still that piercing look from the one eye is quite intense, well done!
