Looks nice Bob, this object is tough I think, the colors are subtle and the dust outside the object makes it hard to tell about the back ground and edges. Yours looks good. smile

Looks great. Now I'm scared -- I started shooting the Cocoon last night and I think I may have bit off more than I can chew :S
