    I agree... a different slant on things. I do find them to be a tad over-sharp, might be my screen though.

    I agree, I loved the first one, but my favorite is the bud in focus, flower out of focus.

    As far as the sharpening, I have no idea, they do look a tad unreal. I have noticed that a lot in beautiful photos, lately, though.

    I try to get the look, by sharpening, I often go too far, and that is at the very end of the photo, I don't realize until I have saved it. I have no idea then of how to get rid of the sharpness without starting all over. A pain......

    I really like the 4th (bud in focus) one as well. Not so keen on the 1/2 flower shots.

    Personally I prefer really sharp photos and I don't think yours are oversharp, but everyone has their own tastes, thats one of the things that makes photography such fun.

    Ginger,

    You might consider sharpening on a separate layer, save your image as a photoshop file, then convert to a jpeg. If you decide later to modify your sharpening settings you can just delete your sharpen layer and make a new one. Takes more space on your hard drive to have multiple copies of an image, but I think its worth it in the long run.

    I hope that makes sense.

    I also really like the one with the unopened bud with the bug hanging on it. I don't necesarily think it's oversharpened, but I think it is too saturated.
