Wonderful shot!  I love the texture and how the lighting accents the
roughness of the skin.

I know it is not ultimately sharp - but I am not sure if it is because
of the lens' limited resolution, because of me not focusing well,
or the camera shake as you suggested.
The photo was taken at 240mm focal length at 1/500, handheld.
However, this is a crop - and what you see is just ~25% less than
the actual pixel size (see the -5 version in the last link).

I think I know what you are talking about (at least I hope so), but
it doesn't seem to work in this case.
Something like this?

That was a good idea.
Here is the result (if I understood correctly what you meant
by midrange)

(at first I almost did much more burning, but then I realized that
it is important for this picture to have a part being this bright)

PS. Thanks to all who looked, and especially for the interesting
comments.

Odd. It definitely looks like camera shake to me. Not just a soft image,
but one with a directional blur. I'd be happy to look at a full res
image for you and put it through 'my' system if you think it would be of
any advantage.

That's very nice. Could be a little  sharper, but it's an unusual 
perspective. Nice one!
