And if you brightened the hourglass area, just a tad, it might look better too I recon.

The detail is lovely though

Thanks Mike. I don't think it's clipped but it is a little dark so I'll have another look. I actually prefer the hourglass area a little toned down but to each his own I guess.

Very interesting perspective, perhaps in part due to framing.

Thanks. I always try to present this thing in high contrast as it does bring out the depth when you do that.

Thanks Colin
