Great focus, and a good background but just a little too large in the frame for my personal taste.

cracking detail

My only nit is that it gives the impression of about to fall off the cones backwards, a slight clockwise rotation of a few degrees would settle it a bit in the minds eye :confused:

"...it gives the impression of about to fall off the cones backwards..."

My thoughts exactly - and before I saw Mike's post! Otherwise looks good to me :smile:
