hey tashy .. came to see wot you've been doing lately and started out with your last challenge .. once again the voters seem to be totally oblivious to the charms of this photograph .. when i look at this image i feel like she's looking right at me .. its like there's a real connection .. i dont agree with all the comments you had about needing more sharpening .. i think they're only judging by dpc standards .. in the real world this would rank up there as something very special .. i think its excellent .. very real & very dramatic in its way ... hope you're travelling well .. :):)x

it appears that bailey's morphed into a sheep !!.. it happens around here A LOT !!! ... excellent b&w .. it looks like you did a cross process with your b&w ... ?? ... wotever you've done i love the way its so contrasty .. that sheep looks like he's talking to you .. of course i know, coz i get the odd sheep photo myself, that he's just chewing .. in fact they never stop chewing .. in low light it can be a difficult thing to photograph them without motion blur in that area !!!!!!! :)

i've been looking at just a couple of your images with f1.8, f2.5 or near which as you say seem to lose sharpness ..
this one at f5.6 looks much sharper .. let me know if you find out about that sharpness problem coz i'd love to know too now !!!:)

beautiful portrait .. love her pose and the lighting .. i have no idea about the sharpness .. is it grain or sharpness that you're worried about tho? .. .. could it have anything to do with your fstop .. looks like an excellent lens .. maybe at f2.5 the depth of field is so narrow that you're losing sharpness in the areas that have lost that bit'v focus .. i see by your settings that it probably wasnt too light so you may not have had much of a choice with your fstop .. i like to keep iso100 to cut down on grain .. maybe you could try iso200 and a higher fstop? .. moving targets can be a pain!! .. i'm no expert tho .. just an idea and someone else will probably know exactly wot you could do ... good luck .. :)
