I think thi is better than some previous, the coat looks well rendered, DOF and focus looks spot on. I like the background.. and foreground.
Hi John, the setting has some nice atmosphere and I'm glad you gave space around to the subject. Visually I think it could do with a slight CW rotation, but again I do question was the raw sharp and SS? It does have a slight crunchy feel as per the last one. Slightly darkening the BKG and addings some saturation into the coat just lifts the image. i do like the PoV. How are you applying NR and sharpening?

HI John, a nice subject with good environment and habitat on display. I like the pose and separation from the BG.
Hi John -- This looks nice with that low pov as compared to the previous post but it still appears crunchy to me. I liked the fg as well.
TFS !

I rarely apply noise reduction. There is no noise reduction applied here. If i do i just paint it over the background with the adjustment brush in Lightroom. Sharpening in the detail panel.
John, I thought I had sent you a link to Adobe tutorials on this subject in the early days of joining, as it shows you how to apply NR in the Details panel and how to apply in-put sharpening to an image. You also need to apply 'out-put sharpening' to all images after you have cropped prior Output. All digital files need sharpening, however the laster stage is only 'perceptual' sharpening. I have suggested you Export via LR (File > Export) as you then 'customise' Export Location ie Desktop, File Settings, Image size ie 1600px wide, Output sharpening, Water marking, which I think you would benefit from and the end results far better.Quote:

BTW your posted macro images look great, so I'm puzzle why the Wildlife are less so, again, could it be the lens?
