Head of Hare
500mm +1.4x f7.1 1/200

Hi all

Another one of my playmates from last summer. He stayed in this pose for a good two minutes whilst I took the same shot again and again and again...!

Spot on Simon. Stacks of detail and those whiskers are great :wink:

Agree totally with Bob. Pin sharp, you can count its hares! :biggrin: :biggrin:

This one looks just a little bit too sharp to me. Perhaps one less pass of USM? Still better than any of my hare portraits.

I am with David, just a bit too pin sharp but cracker of a closeup.

Which version, the large or the small? Or both? I have been experimenting with different sharpening mixes so it's good to get feedback.

On both, Simon, but it does depend what I look at it on. On my iMac both sizes look over sharpened, but on my laptop (with a slightly smaller screen) only the large one does. I have noticed before that images look sharper on iMacs (at least, they do to me), but it is something that cuts both ways. Hope that helps.

Now that I have a highred screen I find it very hard to judge sharpening properly on 1000px shots but here at work it is a touch too much on both Simon.

Good to know. I used to use four rounds of USM and one round of Nik Sharpener but switched to three USM and two Nik - maybe I should revert back. Cheers for the help guys :toast:
