Nice scene - not an eagle, but very nice anyway. On my main monitor I can see detail - not anywhere near jet black. On my secondary monitor it is a little darker but some detail can still be seen. Personally I prefer it with just a touch of detail rather than a pure silhouette. -- Best

Sorry Larry, but no autofocus system will be able to guess by itself which part of the scene you want in focus. One day you want the singer in focus, next day you want the mike in focus. Future sytems, but not in the near future, will do this by reading your mind. Till than its better to use
