Shot with the IIs and sigma 105, iso125 F5.6 1/200sec.
I just wanted to see how they looked with each treatment. To my eye #2 is the winner.

What do you folks think?

In number 2 the hoverfly really comes to life and has a lot of impact. Having said that, is the image slightly oversharpened? Could be my work monitor but looks like a bit of halo-ing around the leg (for example).

3 is the more natural looking image for me. Depends on your intention though.

Both of them are great though. Very impressive skills on show.
You will only prise my 43Ltd from my cold, dead hands...

I agree totally with that Mate It does look oversharpened, I don't normally feel the need to apply much, or any,sharpening to the shots from the IIs. The image is a crop, not a heavy crop but a crop none the less so I was just trying out the different options I have available to see what, if any, difference's there was to the final output

#3 looks most natural while still having some impact. Great shot by the way.

It's difficult to tell at such a small size. It's between 1 and 3, 2 looks overcooked. My hunchometer tells me that 1 would stand up to close scrutiny the best.
