Another shot with the new 1.7TC. What are your thoughts?

Hi Steve, looks a tad soft to me m8 but as i dont know what gear you have used to capture it, then its difficult to weigh it up properly.
I saved the pic to have a little play with it and i suggest sharpening up the original image, there is plenty of scope for it and it looks a lot better.
If you still have the original email it to me m8 and i will have a look if you want.
Here is the sharpened one i did for comparison.

Obviously doing that to the original will look a lot better but you get the idea.

No exif data, Steve. Can you say what the shutter speed, aperture and ISO were, please?

Getting there

It does need a slight sharpening, and I'd crop out the OOF branch on the left.

I prefer the original version myself. Very nice shot Steve.

 

[artyman]

Certainly improved for the sharpening.

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Good shot though does need a bit of sharpening and maybe portrait crop.

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated.

Craig thats a real nice offer thanks, but I think some more practice on my side first and maybe pics will improve. The one you have done looks a lot better than the original.

Dougie it was 500mm F6.7 1/160s ISO800.

Agree with Les about the OOF branch on the left of the image.

All comments are right but maybe not such an intense sharpening.
