The dollar-store fridge magnet fairy is indeed a lame substitute for a real Valkyrie, but hey, there's a war on.

"Valkyrie". According to Funk and Wagnall's: "In Norse mythology, one of the maidens that ride through the air and choose heroes
from among those slain in battle, and carry them to Valhalla".

Perhaps she's a valkyrie in training? Her superiors are flying somewhere above her, watching her progress?
Are you using any assisted lighting? Stealing the overspill and directing it back to the scene? I'm still amazed by the brightness of your single-beams (I'm assuming that's how you're using "Denisyuk" since that's the common usage).
I like it!

No lighting assist this time. Objects were too close to plate for that. Re brightness forgot to mention that an Optiled amber LED was used for photo lighting. Also didn't use quite enough TEA so I had to warm the plate to dry it out a bit for the photo to get the right yellow tint.
I was tempted to redo the holo with more TEA, but thought it better to declare victory and move on to something else. BB-640 plates can produce very nice Denisyuk results - too bad they are so bloody expensive!
