Wonderful POV, pose parallel to the sensor, EXP and BG. Lovelt colors throughout. I love the eye. TFS

hi John, congratulations

[Jonathan Ashton]

Super angle and pose, fine detail.
I would suggest a curves adjustment layer with luminosity and pull down the highlights just a smidgen.

A nice capture John and being parallel has made a difference. Techs look good, not sure with your change in f-stop now, you would achieve the same result. :w3 The POV is perfect and where you need to be with your Cotten tails, although some may say just a fraction up to see the feet perhaps?

Or simply a direct Blend mode.

Very nice. I would increase the saturation slightly.
Great POV.
