That said I'm quite pleased with the 200mm L glass too

Love that 1st shot, has the same feel to it as a shot I took way back when.

Note: the 70-200 @ 70mm pwns for the occasional portrait shot. The bokeh is just something to die for (nicer than the 50mm IMO)

EDIT: If you can, sharpen the eyes up and then the shot should really really "pop", IMO :)

Delete this post if you dont like me having a tinker, but here is my "interpretation" of my above post...

Tweaked the levels, added just a smidge of contrast to help things out a bit and then applied good old unsharp mask :)

Thanks Martin, I'm still getting used to post processing and I'm using GIMP as my copy of PShop seems to have rumbled me :o

Yes, but you could buy three niftys for the cost of a 1.4 ;)

I'll be honest with you, the pic isn't quite sharp, or as sharp as i expected. I have checked the shutter speed and its 1/102 sec so it could possibly be camera shake.

Low light and an old digital back, when I get my 40D things will look a bit better I expect. ;)

300D? Shouldn't be an issue at all. Glass is glass. I also think its not *as* sharp as it should be for the 50mm f/1.8.

I plan to treat myself before Christmas, with this new job it will mean a bit more cash for things like this and new stuff for my archery

I don't think the blur came from the post processing, i really think it was camera shake.
