I think a larger version shows off this shot better.



Nice scene! Maybe just a little sharper for the stone and wood detail?

Hey Ric:
I took your advice and reloaded a larger version but please help with your meaning of "sharper". Thanks.

I just tried...

...masking the stone and usm of radius 12 at a level of 30. Then decreased brightness 5 points(on the masked area that was just sharpened)...all in Corel PhotoPaint 12. IMO- it gave the shot more depth...more of a 3D effect.

Angelo,

Have a quick look here, it gives a brief explanation of sharpening.

Do you have any post processing software and if so what do you use, I'm sure someone will be able to guide you through

I should have said that most point and shoot cameras by default automatically sharpen the images. I think I'm right in saying, that whilst DSLR's can be set up to do it, they don't by default.
Rightly or wrongly the manufacturers believe that the average DSLR owner would rather set his/her own sharpening parameters according to the type of image.

Ahhhh, the dreaded digital manipulation phase. Well I work in Corel but have not learned much in photo-paint. (Ihave v10). I suppose I'm going to learn and practice lots and quickly to keep up with the likes of this bunch.

thanks for both of these G. While I now have a Nikon D70, this shot was taken with a DiMage, with much less to choose from in settings.

"The dreaded digital manipulation" or Post processing is pretty much a requirement with a DSLR. I don't know much (read: anything) about photo-paint but I'm pretty sure someone else will.
