Beautiful tie Alan, may I suggest a slight change in your photo? I would like to see the head on view of the fly also, could you separate the right and the left and pose the rear fly head-on?

I'll do some more photos for you later. Its 03:45 here and I've a friend kipping on my sofa. He will not be happy if I put the lights on now.
Cheers,
A.

No rush, just a suggestion for next time. I take it kipping = sleeping.
