Nicely done Antonio!

You achieve an interesting "look"... a bit dreamy yet very detailed. It works very well with your excellent compositions.

Thanks Charles for having appreciated compositions :D ,

actually objective and very soft, semi-apochromatic or apochromatic would really dream, however I have adapted 350D parameters for optimal results with tufuse to average mode.

Excellent detail in the eyes Antonio. Craneflies always have an interesting skin texture also. Soft and fuzzy looking.
