    Wow,now we're talking close-up!
    Excellent colors and comp,but I think I want a little more DOF.
    Although I'm a short DOF-lover,I do feel this is a bit too short.

    Hi Alfred,
    Great details, lovely colors, but what I like best is the unusual 'out of the box' composition you've made here. I'm wondering if the image may improve if you level the left and right wing?

    This is a real close-up! But i have the feeling the eye's are not sharp. And why are you not allowed to use a tripod/monopod?
