Hello Samdunton . Not bad at all. What I would recommend, is to have your f stop around 11, maybe a diffuser as well to avoid noise on your photo. So you can achieve more in focus subject. But that's only my opinion. Apart from that, looks really good. Also, is the photo cropped?

This was shot at f20 with a diffuser flash - it is indeed a crop.

Alright, would be interesting to see full photo.

By the way, would be interesting to see your diffuser too. You can showcase it here If you want.

Thanks - I’ll take a shot of my diffuser and can post it. I also can post the full size, I had originally cropped it for Instagram to show more detail.
