    Great image Al. I really like the POV. The DoF is right on IMO.

    A central POV that works.

    Really like the sheen on the head and those eyes really o ping out. Wonder if the head had been slightly raised may have been a better pose to avoid the dark area that leads into the shell? DOF spot on.

    Thats a pretty curious look. The central composition works here. Thanks for sharing.

    Al - Fantastic capture and smooth as silk at ISO 640. Did you run noise reduction? If not, I'm just going to buy a 7D instead of a Mark IV. Please let me know.

    P.S. Killer emerald eyes.

    Neat shot Al. The OOF shell contrasts nicely with the sharpness of the head. The shiny wet look of the skin is excellent.
