Thanks John, Pouring a good plate is always a challenge and I made seven plates in a five hour period with Maya. This was the best plate, but I have come to embrace the wet-plate defects that inevitably happen.
 
Most impressive. I'm not smart about the wet-plate process, but this portrait is really fine.
 
Beautiful! Your pour is excellent, the pose is excellent, the lighting is excellent - I love it. Guess you better retire - you'll never top this.
