1. No I did not focus and recompose in any of my shots (opening the RAW shows the center focus is squarely on the bird for example).
I agree with the comment about back focusing in the bird picture, looking at more pictures (ones that were not posted) both my L lenses seem to be off and they vary depending on how far I am from the subject. Closer to the subject the images seem visibly better.
2. Several people have mentioned posting JPEGs, I\'ll continue to do that.
The RAW files are available if anyone feels the need to see what the image looks like before sharpening. I realize it could be \"dangerous\" to open a foreign zip-file, but anti-virus software should catch any malware.
3. I appreciate the comments about RAW processing, I was definitely aware they need to be sharpened and that in-camera JPEGs have already done this step.
I\'ve actually designed JPEG encoders and decoders in hardware and I know much about the format and image processing in general.
4. I usually tried to shoot at f/8 to get better sharpness out of the lens (at least the 17-40), but some shots for \"artistic\" tastes are at a lower f-stop.
5. Not that I really care about the opinions of unhelpful people but is there something in particular yauyi that makes you think I\'m \"unworthy\"? I\'m not taking pictures at 1/8th of a second wondering why they are blurry, I\'m looking at 2.5K+ shots and don\'t see any of the accutance I\'ve seen demonstrated with others\' 5D.2 + 24-105.
