The shots of Sanai with the tools and workshop background are a good example. The environment adds a lot of interest. Also the one of Hamzeh with the dusk mask, that extra detail adds context. Regarding the focus, do you have Photoshop? You can not work a miracle with the focus but you should be able to improve the apparent sharpness enough for a smaller print without that graininess you mention. On a file sized fro the print you can try 'smart sharpen' about 60%, radius 1 pixel, remove Gaussian blur, more accurate. Run it twice. This is from Scott Kelby's book on Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers You will need to do this on a bigger file than the version shown in the gallery. If you don't have Photoshop or that doesn't make sense you can send me the file, 3 or 4 MB will be plenty and I'll try for you. You can also just upload a bigger version to your gallery (accepts up to 5MB) and post a link.

But I like the colors. I've a question, How can I correct this a little bit, so I can give the photo to this young lady. I've tried to shapen this photo in Lightzone ( Old 2.4 version ) but result was hugely grainy. Is there a better solution? What is The Luggers recommandation?
