It was a rather dim and a very slow morning. This is the best image I was able to get. It is cropped 50% (should have had my extender mounted) and tweaked a bit.
Have you used any NR on this - seems to be a lack of fine detail - very smooth looking.
Angle of light is a bit of a problem - seems to be a couple of dust bunnies present on the RHS.
Like the pose and HA.
Keep them coming :)

Hi Lance: Yes I used NR, in Lightroom, but on the entire image, not selectively, perhaps accounting for the overall smoothness. I believe you have pointed out this kind of error previously; I'll try to remember. Frankly, I have to leave Lightroom to "select", and I like to avoid that step if possible. But I should take that step . . .
I have suspected that NR in Lightroom is not as good as it should be for maximum effectiveness. Thanks for the confirmation!!! I use PS Elements, and do not have PS, so if you have a suggestion for an NR addon for that program please let me know.
Unfortunately, in this instance I could not get into any better position relative to the sun's angle.
Your criticisms are always helpful and always looked forward to . . .
