I seem to be having trouble lately getting pictures that I'm satisfied with on the basics. Figured I better check my own "calibration" to be sure! How would you rate this picture in terms of subject sharpness? Thanks! Mark
1/320 @ 5.6 (400mm) 400ISO - no processing, straight from camera - cropped about 50% (Converted in Canon DPP)

Hi Mark - looks a bit soft to my eyes - trying opening up a bit, want to try and keep that shutter speed at 1 over the focal length (for a start anyhow) so here 1/400TH as a minimum. So either bump the ISO or open up if the lens you are using will allow it. You will also generally need to sharpen in PP.
Hi Mark, if this was converted in DPP then your default picture style has been applied as a form of pp.
Any reduction of the full size image will generally require some extra sharpening. IMO,
it is not possible to critique sharpness here not knowing in-cam ps settings.
Best to post a small piece of 100% crop and saved good quality and have it reduced and
sharpened by someone else. There is an unusual smoothness, but it does appear sharp
Is This "Sharp"?
