Hi Shan - lucky find! Just one question. I noticed, that you often use f/32 for your pictures because of the DOF, but don't get a diffraction blur if you close the aperture so much?

A bit too bright background for me.. maybe a bit less light will do fine job.. and maybe the shadow off form the eye .., but intresting photo! and the sharpnes

after a great deal of trial and error with the d7200 and tammy90 combo found this to be the sweet spot. At f36 the loss in sharpness is pronounced and i only open it up to 36 when i want a greater dof or the subject is at an angle to the camera sensor. great question freund.

Interesting composition with nice sharpness and detail.
Maybe open up the shadows a touch in post to brighten the eye? Just my opinion of course

The thing with natural pictures is that we cannot manipulate the elements of the frame. So I will have to get the best results within the given parameters. Please see attachment.

Let me try.. Are we talking about spot shadow removals?
