    Well it just about fits my screen on full screen mode - if it didn't I would have complained! As a technical exercise it looks absolutely amazing, regarding a visually appealing image I would venture to say too big in the frame and no direct eye contact. But wow what an image, colours and details first rate.

    Hi Jon, if there was more below it might have been easier, replicating & extending the BKG below is a non starter....

    Hi Steve ... amazing details and the lovely fine sharpness makes this oh so nice .
    Good solid side portrait .... no need for straight eye contact , every time
    Overall color and tones looking great ... personally I think the " white " fur is a touch cold for my taste . I would warm that up ...

    Nice work , Mr Detail and TFS

    Beautiful detail and sharpness Steve, lovely portrait. She looks grumpy though Love the first post and I would not change a thing. Super pose and expression.
    Let us call her 'Mean Mom' ? Would love to hear the story behind the image...A 'solid portrait' like Andreas said above, love the colours and tonality and IQ is great. Would not expect anything less from you

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Thank you Gabriela, and firstly I will get back to you, just a crazy week, but ‘Whopper’ is back, up and running, faster and better, with a perfect ISO sign off on calibration, just installation took longer and Monterey Os tends to hide a few things now!!!!

    Nice to have you back, looking forward to seeing some fresh ‘gems’ from the trip.
