One of my favourite models Brian, but have not seen any this year yet.

Well captured.

Well captured.

I went back 3 times. Lots of different settings. F/22 is not viable. F/14 gives great detail. F/16 seems a good compromise.

Nice clear image and a good composition with a model who really knows how to pose.
