Think this could benefit from topaz sharpen... looks like motion blur.. eye is pretty soft.

Don't have Topaz sharpen, but think you're right. Adding to the problem is it's a BIG crop. But I liked the action.

Nice shot...though agree with Gordon's comments..

Agreed the wing motion is nice! and he's got full flaps deployed...

Nice capture and wind spread, hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of putting it through sharpen on auto detect and it selected the stabilise option interestingly enough. Putting the raw file through Topaz would produce a better result, thoughts?
