Dear Ian,
You left a note about sharpness on one of my macros. I see that you are capable of very effective and sharp images as well. This one is really good, I'm not sure I would have anything to add here. My compliments also on your experimental and very creative images.
I think sharpness is all about dramatic lighting, and of course a steady camera. The tripod is critical in those situations that you are able to use one. A number of my macros have been troubled by subject motion and DOF blur. By adding flash from the side, in manual exposure mode I was able to freeze motion and also use a small enough f-stop to give acceptable front/back sharpness. With really good ambient light you often don't notice the amount of flash. Don't forget photoshop USM, expecially after you shrink the image for email. Unsharp mask dramatically improves subjective sharpness on digital images. Beyond that, I'm not so sure. Sometimes contrasting background blur against a sharp subject will improve the viewer's impression of sharpness.
Cheers,
Dave Holland

I just love the architecture there in London. In your bio, you mentioned you're from Cornwall. I've a friend named Glenys from Cornwall. She married an American named Jachimski during WWII. We've had quite a time talking about those days.
