Hi Shaun,

Nice shot, a bit tight in the frame for me, but detail and DoF looks very good.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Thats getting much better Shaun, as Lewis says a little tight in the frame... all looks good, perhaps just a little increase in the blacks....

You are certainly getting there Shaun! This is the best image posted by you so far. I agree with Phil's comments, but well done on the sharpness and dof.

Hi all here,s one from the same shoot with a bit more "air" around it and blacks enhanced as suggested, same specs, what do you think? :smile:

Like the second one better Shaun, sharpness and dof very good, blacks are definately better, but maybe slightly higher in the frame and a little lighter overall, looks a bit dark on my monitor.

Oops... sorry Shaun, I forgot that I looked at this last night on an uncalibrated system, at work now and fully calibrated and profiled, the first image does indeed look fine and does not really need anything done to the blacks, agree with Heath on your second, it looks like it could do with a slight lift in the mid tones...

HTH & sorry
