I did another round of sharpeneing with Picasa before posting. I think that helped- I also think I used the portrait mode so flash would have def been there but I have to check the exif- the brightness of the forehead seems to indicate use of flash.Re the B & W conversion, I used the channel mixer preset in CS3 with the green filter. that seems to smoothen the skin.
I have not told hubby I am posting this image here - he will kill me - Debi

That poor man he lets you buy anything you want, take holidays up the Himalayas & you're flashing him when he's having a nap:-) I'll tell you wot Debi the 55-250 lens looks plenty sharp enough here. It looks surprisingly good for a flash shot too ( I assume it's flash) The B&W conversion looks good too wiv nice whites & good blacks. Very good picy megirl, well done.
