Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. BTW, it's been a long time since I last met you at the Abrahamsson's. It?must have been?6-7 years ago. Best regards, ?

Though on my monitor its only 2D. I click on the thing and it gets stupendously big its so nice to really see a picture and the guys head is soft - part of his body is sharper. Perhaps you could select his (or her) head and unsharp it just a bit more than the rest of the picture. That said the whole picture looks like its not been un sharpened enough or at all. I suspect at all. I'm envious of your tight sharp smooth grain pattern at iso 1600. My results with my older 1.5 crop Nikons are about 3 times worse.
