Tough to get lots of info on the mini from the size fo the pics, but it looks neat. I'd reccomend thinning your paint to at least 1:1 to start as it looks like it's gone on a little bulky in places (The shield and shoulder pads). It looks clean with all the paint being in the right places which is important. Do you own any of the citadel washes? Using those diluted slightly might help add a little depth to the mini in places like the cloak and flesh I think. Thanks for posting!

You could try to click on the pictures to get a link to a bigger version of it. I have all the washes but never really tried to delude them trough sicnhe they are already so watery as they are i will give it a try sometime.

with White Balance ficed thous photos can be good to use - get eny graphical program like PS , Gimp or iven ACds ee or Picasa 3 or eny other that have "Levels" adjustment - end use white dropper on white paper you got ther (atm the yellow thing Sigvald stands on )- that will set this to white - fixing over yellowhue on whole phote ( then increasebrightnes as photo is to dark )
for more detailed photo help go to proper topic about minature photography ( ye your camera is 100% capable of doing good photos - you just dont know how :P)
