Hola Carlos,
Wonderful contrast tbetween the soft blue background and the wonderful color & detail in the bird's feathers. It seems like this wonderful detail is one of your trademarks. I remember well the detail in your llama photo.
Hope you are having a nice trip.
Pat

To plimrn: Thanks Patricia
For both your visits. My trip is going fine although with lots of work.
About details and sharpnes... I feel there are two things, the first one being the lenses. If I know they are not as sharp -wide open- as the good ones (which are too expensive), I try setting the f/stop around the 'sweet spot' (usually f/8, for most lenses). Then, there is the way in which you apply USM. I set the in camera parameters to 'neutral' and apply USM viewing the image at 100%. Generally I use (in Photoshop) a somehow light setting (150; 0.2; 0) which I repeat until the small details are visible, but without sharpening artifacts. I started trying this after doing some experimenting and feel that is what gives me best results. Best regards, saludos! Carlos
