Default Quality mount?

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn300/tfbigbuck/ToddsTaxidermy002-1.jpgI was wanting to find out what you guys thought of this shoulder mount. Please be honest. Thanks.

great job looks good to me. Did you do it or have it done?

I see nothing wrong with it.

If you are doing an aggresive mount maybe turn the ears over just a little bit more and then back a hair but other than that I like it. I had to look at it longer to notice it. A+ by me.

Looks pretty good. IMO, it looks better than 75% of the other commercial mounts floating around. If you wanted to get real picky, his nose might be a little to black (live reference pics will show that the nose has a fleshy color near the lower lip), but most customers either won't notice or like a black nose. The only thing I would have done different myself (and I don't consider myself a PRO by any means) is I would have shown a little bottom lip. It looks fine either way, I just prefer a little bottom lip showing. All around, it is a nice mount.
