Pleasant result Freddy.
Sharp, crisp, interesting hue and the soft lighting creates some fine textures here.
I'm impressed with your progress in PP - this image is well manipulated.
But do something about that big dust spot on frame upper left.

Glad you like it, Ash.
Yes, I'm wondering where the smudge is coming from. I've seen it before.
I recently cleaned the mirror on the K100D, that had a hair in it. Any suggestions on how
I can locate and clean this smudge. I would hate to damage this great little lens.
It's not obvious when I look at the
lens through both ends.
That kind of smudge is usually easily pp'd out but I would like to
get rid of it. Freddy

Thanks, Scott. I was surprised that this particular lens performed
so well considering the lighting. I like what I'm learning about it.
