Hello Hazel,

I kinda like the pose and composition of this one although I feel that it is kind of underexposed.

Hazel, is this a large crop? It's very blurry and has a low EQ to me and it also looks like you either missed the shutter speed or the point of focus. I'm betting its a large crop...

[Hazel Grant]

yes, large crop. didn't show up that blurry on my monitor, but I'll try to watch better.

The image does look soft Hazel. Here is a version sharpened up by Topaz InFocus deblur. The debluring has brought out some noise in the underwing but it does work!

[Hazel Grant]

Thanks. I'm going to investigate Topaz. Seems to be the place to go for a lot of things.

Of course the general consensus Hazel is to attempt the best possible image from the camera. This will give you the simplest and quickest post-processing.
