I hate to nitpick (actually, that's a lie, I *like* nitpicking <grin>), 
especially with such a pretty image, but there seem to be some rather 
nasty jaggies happening in the top left corner of the image.

Specifically, the left hand side of the upper band of gold which passes 
in front of the opal seems to have some very visible stepping, as if it 
were constructed out of lots of cubes.

Otherwise it's a very nice image, and I wouldn't meddle too much with it, 
as I've ruined far too many perfectly good scenes by attempting to put 
more detail into them long past the point at which I should have stopped.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
