Brilliant. The deep look passes through you.
Congratulations and my like

Sorry Mariano, I missed saying "thank you"...I saw the image come up again today in the Wildlife stream and caught it...

Thank You!

I am glad you took the "deep look". Her eyes really pierce and best seen, in my opinion, as expanded as possible on a larger then typical phone screen!
