Hi to all you out there,
after a couple of days i am back with a new Canon 1D Mk II image .Photographed this baboon youngster at Cape of Good Hope (SA).I am mostly interested in your opinion about IQ and sharpness/detail,i think just a question of PP.
So tell me your thoughts,good or bad as always.

EF 500 IS L + 1,4 TC
Window bracket

F,5,6 / 1/500sec / ISO 100 Full frame

Hope you like it.
Cheers Andreas :wave:

Andreas,

A perfect example as to why the MkIIn was a marvelous camera , it still is:w3

Great detail and what else but great AF.

I am not surprised you stayed in the car, they are a dangerous bunch:bg3:

Amazing IQ and sharpness. A lovely portrait with nice clean surroundings...Not sure why you want to know my sharpening technique..., yours looks perfect:t3:w3:bg3:

Hey Andreas,
Sharpness looks good and a very nice image. I may have pushed the ISO a bit just as a safety net for movement or a smidge more DOF. I would be tempted to lighten the face just a touch more.....even though they are generally this dark. All in all.....well done and very sharp.

Andreas - very nice portrait with good detail and sharpness as well as bokeh. It works very well.

TFS,
Rachel

Very cute Andreas! IQ looks very good on my screen.
Might dodge the face a bit? Just shadows and midtones to lift it a bit?? :S3:
Cutting off the tail is not ideal but including it would have framed the shot too wide...IMHO it's a "necessary evil" in this portrait which is all about the pose and look. :e3

Hi Andreas, looks good and the IQ is far better than previous images, but then the light has also played a good part too. Would agree with Morkel about some dodging on the face to help the shadows and mid tones.
