For me the green looks greener in the first. And maybe the PPed one is possibly a little over sharpened?? both look good though

No PP, or at least not this PP. Too much sharpening that makes the grass hurt your eyes.
Ciao, Joost
All feedback is highly appreciated!
Thanks Phil & Jev
Yah, too much dat sharpening ting.
First picture don't need much, maybe yust a tiny tweak in curves?
Thanks Jim and David
I gather the tammy's real sharp if didnt need to sharpen after Using 90mm on these
Its funny cause i usually have to sharpen a heap - these today didnt
I say no PP with this shot.
I think the original is sharp enough to begin with.... PLUS the cygnet (nearly said duck! haha) looks all soft and fluffy. Looks a bit spikier or something when it's sharpened.

Thanks Gypsy - yeah I should really have gone with my initial thoughts and not sharpened really on these babies..
the feathers look fluffier in the pp`d one Cat.
Thanks Graeme I think that may be cause the pp has brought out more shades in them?
Yep, the unsharp masking is a bit too high.

Actually it's interesting cause I usually sharpen way more than i did on that one - i only did a lightish sharpen - i gather its the soft feathers plus the tammy sharp... Never done a pic of the babies before using the tammy till now
The textures, grass and down in the first look spot on. I think sometimes there's a tendency to oversharpen....just because we can. I know I've done it.
Yeh, first one look just fine. PP looks like the 'sig' has been into the hair gel. Cathy I have a Tokina 12-24 mk11 that does the same thing if you try to apply any sharpening, great straight from the camera.

Thanks Ruth and Mick Yeah am being very careful now on what sharpening I am doing if using that lens
I prefer the first shot as it depicts the softness of the fully little duckling.
Cheers Retta

I am with the majority here - great shot, but the first one looks nice and fluffy soft like the little fellow should be.
Please be honest with your Critique of my images. I may not always agree, but I will not be offended - CC assists my learning and is always appreciate

it's a little duckling
It is meant to be soft and fuzzy
so the sharpening looks wrong to me in the second
(but on a parent bird, I guess I would go the other way)
I usually prefer the detail in a sharpened shot
But not for fuzzy little ducks!
yeah on the cygnet i think the sharpening didnt work.... learny my lesson since then with this lens - is a lot sharper than thekit ones had been used to previously
