[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 218776, member: 17556"] Certainly helped a little but I am still frustrated with a problem that I think is focus area. I managed to get much better exposure and DOF and lower noise but I cannot for the life of me get tack sharp on the eyes. When I ran these images (below) through ViewNX I checked the focus spot function and almost [I]none[/I] of them had focus on the eye. But the eye is exactly where I placed my focus indicator, which is set to single point AF-S, and I use back button AF method. Still, I am unsure if it really is a focus issue or if I am just trying to get detail out of an image that is taken in too low of light. With winter almost here the sun is very low and barely makes it above tree level when you live in the woods. Anyway, here is the best of what I shot today. All I have done to these is a crop, a little bit of adjustment to levels, some exposure adjustment and sharpening.
