This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

I gotta say great shots, but grossly over-sharpened.

Such poise and grace from your subject. :) Great timing with your trigger finger too.

Pity about the sharpening.

Oversharpened, but impressive nonetheless.
You missed the focus on the 3rd shot though...

Awesome photos!Gromit's expressions are priceless - especially in the second picture. It really looks like the wheel is about to get whats coming to it :P

I don't particularly mind the sharpening though - it definitely makes the subject 'pop'

Great shots.
Grommit is really popping out from the background.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I think I may have over sharpened on the second image, however the first and last (where I missed the AF on the face) are OK IMO?
With this type of BG, you need to make the image pop :wink:

I'd say the 3rd one is definitely oversharpened: the foreground grass is just too "crunchy".

Hi Dave
Surprisingly the 3rd one has had the least amount of USM. :shock:
Due to the fact that I had already missed AF on his face.

The first is great; the 'sharpening' just adds to the impact.

I tend to agree with the above. Great action shots of Gromit but at least in the second one the versharpenning makes him look like a cut out against the background.
