Robert that looks like a seriously good close-up.. only thing I say was per your last image - I think Contrast could be increased a 'tad' would really make it jump out of the page...

[RobertM]

Thanks John, I'll give that a try.

Hi Robert,

Great image, I'm with John on the contrast the black bocks look grey so I'd darken it a bit.  When you getting the colour?
