I was searching for an old file and came across this which I had discarded or overlooked at the time. *istDS with DA 50-200

Love it!

This is right up my snapping personality street. Yes it's oversharp ( like my efforts on CRT monitors ) and could do with more blacks and some eye enhancement, but that aside a top quality composition and inspiration!!

Thanks, kind of remembered by a great showjumping pic recently posted in the gallery. It does look oversharpened here but I think its down to forum re-sizing that occasionally goes awry, take your point though about the eye and blacks.

Superb shot - the placement of the eye, and the diagonal line.
Best regards

Great shot - I didn't have a problem with the sharpened version. Nice detail !

That is a really beautiful shot, the second version especially so.

I liked the first, but there's no doubt (to me) that the second is better! Excellent!
