This picture was taken from about six feet away. In looking
at the EXIF data, I noticed that the 'sharpness' was set at 'soft'.
I've
got to check into that. Maybe that's part of my problem.
All I have to say is "Duuuuhhhhhh".
I appreciate your suggestions.
Give me a break! I spent 30 years with a Canon FTQL. I didn't have to
be a
damn IT professional to take a picture.
LOL, JohnH, I am teasing you. If you look at my photos, I have a
tendency to over sharpen them.
Then stop over sharpening them. It's a nasty effect. Nobody likes the
results. Nobody.

Not true.


I didn't bother to respond to Joe's comment seriously, because aLL digital
images need to be sharpened. jpg's are sharpened in camera. I quickly
learned that an unsharped RAW photo will look very fuzzy.


Yeah, but you knew what I meant, didn't you? I was referring to excessive
sharpening of DEFECTIVE pictures - the ones that are blurry because of
focusing problems caused by the user, or the camera's inability to deal with
a certain situation.
