Out of curiosity, does the last photo in this post look sharp to you Ted, or do you think it needs to be sharpened?

I'll take a look and ... I'll be baaack ...

Here's what my new toy (Edge Detection) tells me, young man:

View original size+ to see the edges

Quite a narrow depth of field in the shot so not much in focus. Our good ole' Merrill has resolved in-focus edges very well. I myself might have tried for more micro-contrast in post - but how much is desirable would be your call, not mine.

Unfortunately I can't see thg that image Ted . . . at least not on my phone, using the Samsung browser, which could be the problem, I guess. Is it a .png? It shows up all black for me.

I didn't sharpen the OOC jpeg Ted. I guess I should be converting raw files, and sharpening them more in SPP than thg he way they are looking right out of the camera.
