Lovely result Grady !
I love to 'feel' of the image, the texture, gives it that authentic textbook look.

Well done.

Some good detail for sure!

Quite like the colour too, what setup did you use for this image?

Cheers,

Justin.

That worked out well Grady. Looks like you nailed the focus and the field is nice and flat to the corners.
