I'm curious - can you tell me what the first two letters of your back's serial number are?

This could have been taken with anything.  Can you show a crop?

I took the photo with a Mamiya 645 AFDll, 120 macro lens, ZD back.
If you like I will be more than happy to burn the file to a cd and mail it to you.

That's not what I mean.  

I believe you in the fact that you used a ZD back, but what's the point of this thread if you're just showing a websized image?

I think there is no need for that.  A 100% crop posted here will do fine.  The cropped image can be 600 x 600 pixels but say of the eyes>>>>>

Hi
The fact that you shot ( hand held ) @ 1/80 sec with a 120 lens on a MFD is pretty impressive with me, like how the back ground blurred. Enjoy your ZD & take great pictures with it.

Mcfoto,

Thank you. I owned the camera and back for just over two weeks and I am loving it.
For some reason I fine it really easy to hand hold, easier than any of my Nikon bodies.

looking at the entire image I think the focus is on the right shoulder not really the eye... could be wrong though.

If its the shoulder you want, then the shoulder you shall have.

Thank you.
Never a cold shoulder.

I am new to medium format and each day I am loving it more and more. My poor nikon gear is feeling neglected.  

I must admit I slept with my Mamiya gear three times last week. My girlfriend is pissed. LOLOL
