    I took this image on a late summers afternoon with the lioness lit from the side and slightly from behind. This image is similar to what Hilary posted some time back.
    Camera details:
    Canon EOS 1 DS MarkII
    Canon EF 500mm f4
    S/S: 1/50
    ISO: 200
    Aperture: f4
    Any comments and solutions welcome.

    I like the light and the loverly lady. Agree that a bit darker overall and a bit less sharpening would be ideal.

    Mark,

    For me Brendon has hit the nail on the fead a few tweaks and this will be a very fine portrait.

    Whilst this may look similar to Hilary's post in that it is a Lioness, you have what is IMHO the essential factor in a portrait "eyes" that you can see fully.

    Hi all,
    Thank you for the help. This is a repost with a change in curves and slightly less sharpening.
    Any comments welcome.

    Hard to see a difference in the sharpening. What did you do in Curves? I like the less saturated ears and the more open look in the first image. I guess that it is a case of be careful what you wish for .

    Mark,

    The repost is to my eyes at least less sharp, I have just played around in levels but cannot seem to get what I think is there, using the JPEG does not really help.

    I am convinced that there must be a great image in the RAW
