Im flattered Urs - yes to the sharpening but I loved the DOF in the original shot too. :) Can't have the best of both worlds huh? Sometimes, if I have a soft image, I will take it to B&W since the muted tone (lack of color) does not draw as much attention to the focus. Otherwise, I go back out and try again - sometimes that's easier and sometimes not. :) You have a great eye. Welcome to Usefilm - I see you've been here for a few months. I hope you enjoy it here as I have. I have learned so much here. I've met so many people through comments - it's really a wonderful community. Sincerely, Cheryl
