Nice to get so close Matt :toast:

Good focus on the eyes but you've run out of DoF infront so the nose is OoF - which is a shame.

The whites are a bit blown in PP and the crop is a bit tight to the ears, but with a little exra work in Photoshop you'll have a nice image :toast:

Great clarity in the eyes Matt, and a nice relaxed feel to the shot!

I fear you may have lost fine detail in the whites, but the eyes definately hold my attention :toast:
