Some nice work there lads.
Ev - TC's always lose a bit of image quality but they are pretty sharp mate, I think you can probably get rid of more of that noise with some practice.

Got this pair of Wagtails by the garden pond every day now, they are nesting nearby.

Hi Jason
I see you mentioned using Topaz software. Are you using their `In Focus` and or `Detail 3`?, both are good but due to the amount of control you have it takes a while to balance all the adjustments and get the result you were looking for.

Their noise reduction programme Topaz `DeNoise` can take the edge off image sharpness but detail can be brought back with intelligent use of the sliders

A very quick fix which boosts sharpness in a simple step is the `Smart Sharpen` feature in Photoshop

Topaz Denoise is a brilliant bit of software, all my shots get run through it to some degree.

Here's a Warbler (Blackcap) for you Ev - just happened to be in the back garden with the camera at the right time when he popped in. His Mrs was in 5 minutes later but I'd gone in for a cuppa by then.
