Philly Parkes! Takes me right back to the early 70s and Phil Parkes, the great
goalkeeper of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the days of Derek Dougan.
Back then, every good goalkeeper was called Parkes. Apart from Gary Sprake,
obviously. He was an anagram of Parkes. And he was never on the bench.

I was wishing I could actually see the eye. Just a dark hole to me. Perhaps my
screen is too dark.(?)
I see head and neck texture, but tough to distinguish other than just a rough
surface.
Learning that it is an approximate 30% crop is, however, encouraging.
Thanks, Paul

In regard to the droplets, I think what you’re seeing is refracted light. The
light angle is far from ideal here. It’s coming around from the front and
slightly to the rear. Passing through the droplets creates some color here and
there. Could be a bit of fringing but I don’t think so. Here’s
