My goodness... he really looks lovely Peter. That's a great pose to capture too.

Many thanks for letting use see him my friend.

I see you have a female too and the Opus article says that males have blue facial skin, so I'm thinking that the main picture on the page is a female then. Do you think a picture of a male should be there as well? I'll leave it to you lad.
