I guess I've become caught up in seeing how far I can go with this. This image is no more than 20% of the full frame. I did apply some noise reduction as recommended by several others on my earlier post. I know it won't work well for printing but for web presentation it still looks good to me.

Looks good to me too Neil. Cropping is fun. I add a little more space on the left. Nice shot.

The image is holding up exceptionally well for this level of crop. Very nice pose and framing. Looks great.

Interesting. That would put the original at about a 100% view of the original. You did a very nice job of cleaning and sharpening here. It would be interesting for you to start a topic on how you got to here and what you had to do. 8)

Amazing detail for such a large crop! I really like the composition but would also like to see a touch more room on the left.

You certainly did a heck of a job with this one....both in shooting and with PS. I've only had a few with that big of a crop to get to come out reasonably sharp. Excellent all the way around.

I love the pose. The detail is amazing even if it were full frame. The image held up very well to the crop.
