Interesting,

thanks I thought that the version that I had put up was pretty sharp. But as 
you 
say h/h in that level of light is difficult and there was nothing that I 
could 
lean on without compromising positioning or composition. This is a 
thirty-foot 
high screen that we are talking about and positioning is always difficult 
when 
trying to balance composition with a subject that large, with a 50.

thanks for looking,

Peter
