Nice one. I think it looks perfect ;D
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Great point Bob u gotta think that the black speckles might play an eye trick.  I do kinda the same beating on Onondaga then switching to something else... I might break a few till getting it under control. Again great point Bob!

Don't look like you had any problems with symetry on that one!  I like that style of point.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
