Angry look nicely captured. Injury mark noticed near the left eye. The pencil of rays falling on the face adds value. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice portrait of the king. The frame seems a bit tight. A bit more space on the right to include the ear tip would have been good. Seems like a quite big injury to the eye. The backlit hait look nice. Thanks for sharing.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Nice one. The face shows that he is a survivor of many a battle. I agree that cutting off the left ear is not ideal. Where was this shot? In that enclosure?
