The light is fantastic, very soft and enhances details without creating too light or too dark spots.
Well done, Bob.

Bob,

Was it a focus stack?  I reckon that if I was to get an image like this, that's what I would have to do.  Fortunately my Fuji has focus stacking built-in.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Was it a focus stack?

Jonathan: I manually combined two images with different focal points.
