it was a good shot. a little bottom and right might be better.

Agreed Brian - downsizing (or at least not upsizing) hides a lot of sins, like a missed focus.

This is the main reason for shooting tethered. We can't see that we have not got a sharp image in the tiny screens on the back of the camera, but put it on a large screen and all of our mistakes suddenly become quite visible. This lets the photographer correct his / her shooting before they come back with a lot of images they thought were good, but in fact were not.

Hmmm, hand held while sitting on a 6 " wide ledge and I am going to put my computer ? so I can see it while the grasshopper waits for me to get focused perfectly.
