G'day Dominick,

This has been very well seen and extremely well made!

The B&W treatment works very well with this subject with a good strong contrast and effective slightly limited tonal range.

The subject itself is most interesting and made moreso by your great composition.

A good depth of field, focus, exposure and processing render clear sharp detail.
