- Boy, this totally rocks - pro work! Loved the video from the news article too!
  
  pull the hat forward just a little bit, kinda looks behind his head.
  
  Thank you kindly to everyone … Gummy, you were right, the hat had already been buggin' me. It's tricky putting a hat on a bear, cat, etc. without hiding the ears. If you hide the bear's ears it doesn't read as well. Hopefully, it looks better now …
  
  I'd put the hat slightly on a side of the head, completely covering one ear. This way it should work well too still showing another ear. It looks natural after the edit anyhow

- All that's missing is the Rescue chopper in the distance coming to the rescue. Looks like he's got a tough time ahead. Interesting theme.
  
  Ahh, but geriatric, there's a reason you don't see a helicopter, unfortunately, they never found him.
  
  Great photo-realistic chop … I love how it appears as if there's a rescue light on him.

    Scottish Independence Referendum, 2014
    
    Alba gu bràth is a Scottish Gaelic phrase used to express allegiance to Scotland. Idiomatically it translates into English as "Scotland forever" though the literal meaning of gu bràth in Gaelic is 'until Judgement'.
