    Super colours and details I like the composition too. Attention is drawn to the eye which is excellent.

    This is great. The detail is great - I'd never noticed what look like tiny serrations on the bill. Since you had the light, it mighta been nice to close down to f/7.1 for a bit more DOF. Otherwise very nice!

    Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. I'm getting better, no halos, no artifacts but my workflow is so much different than you and Steve.
