 I wish this were sharp. Ugh. Guess, I'll have to do it again, but I bet I won't get this shot. She walked straight up to me and visited for awhile. Took this through the fence. I am on a quest for my first ultimately sharp picture. Framing it when it happens. Making an appointment with the eye doctor in the meantime.

Used Goodman's overlay lightly.

Don't worry - consistently accurate manual focus takes a lot of practice. If you are sufficiently motivated to consider it a "quest", you'll get there soon enough. You could use a different focusing screen on your 40d that could make things a bit easier to see precise focus, if you want. That being said, sharp, sharp focus is frankly overrated and sometimes a bit unreal, given certain subjects. As redjulep says, we are in the world of overlay here! :)

I really get the sense that she was walking straight toward you in this shot. Love the way those horns just fill the entire upper frame.

Being a UT fan, I have to love this. We see longhorns all of the time and I think they are so interesting. The layer is subtle and really adds to it. Nicely done.
