Mrs Miasma said to tell you that she loves the photo and that it's so good it could be used 'as is' in printing. She spent her career trying to find photos this good to use in publications.

I just thought you should know you've quietly impressed an old biddy who used to work with such things. πŸ˜†

@mmiasma I worked in a photo studio/darkroom from my teens through my college years. Tell her I appreciate the compliment.

I've got better ones but this one was last night
