[QUOTE="WeeHector, post: 158170, member: 14301"] Thanks for the comment. I am now shooting in NEF and open all my photos in View NX2. My first reflex is to bump up sharpness to 10 and in almost every case it works. However, in this case, I felt it was a bit extreme and left it at 4. Likewise with colour. I raised the vibrance level a bit to boost the yellow but not too much. I remember visiting relatives in the early days of colour TV and was shocked to find that the contrast was always turned up to max so reds, greens and blues were fluorescent. It's left a scar on me and I like colours to be more subdued. The boat-hook head is black and not blue as it becomes in your edit and blue begins to replace black on the wasp's body. Doesn't work for me but others may and probably will disagree. That is the joy of photography; it is like wine; some will spit out vintage wines while happily downing cheap plonk.
