Thanks Trevor! I just wanted to get the spikes to look more geometric instead of in every direction. Weird how two cables and the sides of the camera body will do that.

Well done Russ...I actually like the spikes.

Thanks. Still working on cleaning up odd star spikes from the cables and camera body. I'll have a mask for the camera body shadow ready for the next session and saw an idea to help with the cable induced spikes. Considering this is only cropped about 5% I'd say the FOV was just about perfect for this one.

This still need more work but I figured it was far enough along to share.
