Peter, you are dedicated to perfection 
No lint or hairs, no spots or specs, no annoying reflections, some great contrast in the B&W area. This is almost like a selective color shot, I really like how this looks I am not on a calibrated monitor, I am on an Apple 5k display, in my minds eye I would like to see the luminance of the yellow reduced (not adding saturation) to become a bit deeper in color depth? Now, you know I have no business doubting your choice but I love your technical work, wish I had the understanding of how to pull anything like this off!
I hope they pay you dearly for your efforts

Karl, I'll check the colors. I'm working on an Eizo high end, and of course, I also have the product to compare to. I just downloaded a pdf of one of their logos from their website and that yellow is darker and less yellow, more orange, but looking at another pair of these here on my coffee table, the actual yellow is much brighter, much closer to my image, but that doesn't mean I'm opposed to revisiting that, and it caught your attention enough to mention it. But do get that monitor calibrated. It will make a difference. I have that screen right next to the Eizo, and nothing I can do to that, calibration wise, will make it even close to the Eizo, but since I only use that one for palettes and tools, I just use the manual controls to try and force it to closer to the Eizo, well, at least not brighter. If I drop that logo in, I'll have to adjust one or the other so they're more or less the same.
And, Karl, there is no pay. I just did this for fun, if you can call it that. And no matter how well you clean and dust off tools like this, there is always a ton of crap to clean up. I'm not trying to be a documentary photographer with these. I'm more like a photo illustrator, plus this is an extraordinarily sharp lens with 100 megapixels, so when you're zoomed in, the detail is overwhelming. If there's a tip that got chipped off by half a millimeter you don't see that with your naked eye but it's quite distracting when it's huge, so I fix it. This is like the idealized perfect sample that they never produce anymore for photo shoots. I'll go ahead and drop the logo in and make as 30x40 print and send it to them. Who knows. Maybe they'll bite. Or snip. These days I'm splitting my time between doing these type of images and recording music, most for my gf, but for me as well. We've had so many remote recording sessions lately that it's kinda crazy. Even recorded a piece with Gee playing accordion last week for a new show on Apple TV, which I know nothing about yet. After doing photography for 45 years, I am totally addicted to digital audio and so much of what I know from Photoshop transfers over to audio, at least in the abstract.
