Very nicely done, particularly some of the use of selective focus. I would urge you to back off a touch on the post-processing, but that's me.

Nice set of shots. I was thinking I really liked the processing on these. What did you do in the conversion to get that crisp luminous look?

Thank you Zerodog, I did some experiments using the highpass sharpenning techniques on different channel and different blending modes.
