    LOL. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at! Very creative title, but I agree with Gary. Would love to see it bigger. He's scary little fella isn't he?

    Thanks for your replies, guys.

    Gary, after development of the film, I was unhappy with the full comp of this shot (which was a full head-torso...). Then I saw the opportunity to use the title (as you so sharply realized) - but having cropped in to a very small percentage of the image, I was afraid enlarging and stretching the grain even more would cause the abstract nature of this "beast" to get too unrecognizable.

    ...so go back and get a reshoot with a wide angle lens and the subject filling the frame.

    I was wondering what I would see when I opened this, imagining a Target store sign or maybe some interesting subject dead center in the frame. I like what I found and think a more abstract enlargment might be satisfying too, even though it's looser than the normal Tuna shot.

    Re: Bullseye

    Nice image as usual, tuna. I understand about the cropping and worry about the grain. You could always go back and do a shot that was zoomed in on the eye, though.
