Excellent focus and clarity.

a very nice image with an appropriate title, ciao Giangiorgio

Thank you, Chris, thank you Giangiorgio! PDE

Better than the view through an ophthalmoscope!! Seriously, a very fine close up. The composition and balance to the shot is superb. Not awkward like so many close facial closeups. Focus is terrific and the elements throughout are all very sharp, considering the very short focal length and DOF. Not only masterful artistically, but also technically! C'est très bon!!!

Thank you very much, Warren! PDE

A window to the soul . . . perhaps of a child (from the title). Amazing macro shot, Pierre, for all the reasons cited below; Love the delicate, subdued colors. - - My best always, michael

Thank you for your brilliant comment, Michael! PDE
