Well... the leak lines look good... now if you can get the little leaks to quit bothering you.

Did you say you've tried earplugs?
So far, with the Nuance Pro, I haven't had any leaks that woke me up (fingers crossed that this trend continues). It isn't the noise that bothers me, it's the feeling of leaking air on my face, so earplugs won't help. Good suggestion though.
How about a balaclava? :D
:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm not ruling anything out! I may end up mummy wrapping my head every night!
Actually the suggestion is only a little in jest... Lots of people have, or had, a cap to keep their heads warm at night... this just keeps your face warm too... just remember to take it off before you run out to the convenience store for a quart of milk... might cause misunderstandings.

Surprisingly, it was meant sincerely :D

Nicely lit, good background, nice catchlight in the eyes.

You can probably get some good advice for the leak issues if you tell people where and how the leak is. I use a full face mask, so I can't help you with your mask. But when I started, I mentioned the leaks I was getting into my eye, and people told me exactly what I needed to adjust to get rid of that leak.

that's down to my daughter, that is. taken with her iphone (sorry, not sure of model, but i think 6) on my back porch. the lighting here in flagstaff is amazing!

i take it from the term catchlight that you are a photographer?
