Hello

Many thanks Lillian for organising the day and a pleasure to meet you fine folks too.

Cracking detail, and I like the slightly oblique angle/off-centre placement. Good to see you uploading again.
At times waiting for the site is like watching paint dry - then it speeds up just as I'm about to report the problem...

I love the tight crop but your white balance is off — the 'eyebrows' are very blue.
