Gérard,

This looks excellent!

A few "haloes" that could be "cleaned" up, but that about all it needs.

What photo processing software do you use?

Thanks Charles,I use Photofiltre & Picture Project.

That's a real nice picture -
How did you hold him still like that in front of the camera?

Thanks,I actually put the subject in the fridge for a while before shooting.It helps to keep them quiet.

So was this subject live when photographed???

If so, did you do anything to keep it cold while you shot the stack?

Rik,I think that I left it a bit too much in the fridge because it never came back to life...

...left it a bit too much in the fridge...

Ah, well, these things happen.

I just had my hopes up for a new technique!
