Volker, I like your shot - hope you don't mind me playing with it in PS.

Sharpness is so Bourgeois. HCB.

Melanie looks like you had your Leica as well, where are the shots of pretty boy Rich!

I only take portraits of dogs, Ricardo. Although I have no photographic evidence to back this up, I can tell you that Richard does not qualify.

Bud -- I love that portrait. You are really good!

 

[Rich Silfver]

Bud, nice shot!
My 90 is also my least used lens (I tend to use a 50mm 80%+ of the time) but I do like it a lot (sharp or not).

Rich,

The ears look to be in good sharp focus. It looks like the minimum focus was the problem. DOF for a 90mm at f/2.8 and 3' is less than 1 inch. Even at f/22 the DOF is only around 6" which dosn't cover the entire head.

No, I don't mind, I'm curious what you did! I cleaned up some dust and resized, I tried USM but decided against since it grew worse then.
