Decided to post it here Graham.
Well done, i can't seem to get anywhere near the sharpness that you have. In my defence i was using the 18-55 kit lens which is really cr@p!
anyway, here it is.

Can't see it I'm 99% sure Pbase doesn't allow hot linking, you'll have to either post the URL to the page or upload it somewhere else.

What's your pbase username? I'm nosy :P

Strange that, I've always found the 18-55 lens pretty sharp when using it

Upped the contrast a bit and the levels a bit more...

Iv'e got no nose!
Good job, i tinkered but every eye sees differently.
i took it in my bedroom where the light is not so good and even though i had it on the tripod it was still about quarter of a second.
My kit lens is naff! it wobbles about a millimetre at the end.
I want a 70-200L, F4 though and that would mean selling something as it is. Afterall, how many times in normall photography would you nedd more than 320mm?
can't afford the 100-400 in any aperature let alone the 200 at f8

I think to my eye it just needed to be a bit 'blacker'.

I was using a shutter speed of......1/60 and my speedlight (might've made a difference )
