Thank you very much, George. Yes, I agree, I'll try a couple of tight crops too. I want to invest in one of those brackets that lets you quickly flip between landscape and portrait without shifting horizontally as happens with my tripod ball head. I'd have done more portrait orientations but for that. I was mainly concentrating on other aspects like posing, direction, subtle light refinements.
