Great shot James. Itseems to be a bit oversharpened, try to use less sharpening next time.

Bloody great for a 100% crop though! Nice one.

Thanks Brendan and John. Here was the full-size cropto prove it. Between the 70-200L IS F4's awesome glass and 15 megapixels of the 50D, was able to salvage something. And it's fair to say it has a bit oversharpend look to it... side-effect of over-compensating for the short telephoto. I'll try to make it more subtle next time (or get a longer lens []).

Here is the real 100% crop, the only PP was Adobe Camera Raw set to 25 on the sharpening (nothing in photoshop besides save for web). Probably could use a little unsharp mask... but this is pretty close to right off the camera.
