Taken right after it inhaled a vole/mole.

Can anyone give me some direction on exporting? Using LR or otherwise. The images look really sharp on my end, but lack upon posting. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm just zooming in on my own picture, and it doesn't retain it's sharpness, like if I were to view it outside of this forum.

It looks sharp to me too Doug. It might benefit from adding a little to the exposure too. Is it full frame? If not, I think more room on the left, and less on the right could also help ~ Ron

Doug,

Hope you don't mind the re-do. If you do let me know and I'll take it down...30 seconds in LR.

Increased exposure by 1/2 stop.
Tiny bump in contrast.
Tiny bump in sharpening...really tiny like 10 with .5 radius
output sharpening->for screen->Low

Those settings would be a little different working with the raw files but you get the idea.

Looks good to me. A little off the right might make it more pleasing but a fine shot for sure.

Lots of potential with this shot with a little tweaking as others have suggested...its a fine image.

Just chiming in to agree with everyone else. This is a very nice shot that can stand a tiny, little bit of extra refining to make it better.

Thanks for the input, this is how the image looked straight from the D300, I didn't really want to tweak anything.
It looks a bit more natural in the re-do, especially the background.

The main question I had is how come some images on here are so massive? Side scrolling required. I have some stuff taken with my D800e, and just feel like they look horrible when you try to zoom in on them.
