I know you're capabile of more based on previous work.
Hmmm, too contrasty perhaps? I haven't sharpened at all. I've deliberately made it contrasty to give the full frame impact. I've softened the inner region a little bit - any better?

Just musing, definately no criticisim here. Thanks.
Thanks mate. You might be right for close-up work but for wide field you need to go deeper I think - to put something interesting in the surrounding space.

Cheers, Marcus
