I am struggling during the cull on what can be saved that is not tack sharp, especially on newer 27" iMac.  This one did not make first round through, and I put it as a maybe.  This looked iffy in Bridge at 100% but once I made the 100% crop, I wonder if I am being too picky?

Hoping the train my eye better so I know what I edit will print nicely at larger sizes.

Yeah, no, sorry.  Ditch it.

Your f/2.8 has screwed with you here.  The nose is sharp, the eyebrows are almost sharp, but the eyes are not.  A narrower aperture would have saved you.

Ok thanks... I do have one that is sharp in this pose, just was curious where that line is.  I might be posting another one or two poses that aren't as close up to see if I am on right track in thinking to ditch them.
