Very cool, John. The head on pose and the added dof from your blending really make this one special.

I think this is exceptional. Amazing detail and the DOF is terrific. WoW!
p.s. I can't tell if the jagged black region in the white area half way down on the left (bird's right) is real or emerged from the blending. :toast:
