it looks like your going ott on the sharpening, if you look round the edges of the blimp your getting a halo effect.
Have a look at Shay's sharpening tips here for some guidance to the settings to use

I like the effect you're going for.

That's correct. I been trying out alot of what I've been reading here, and fairly obivous I'm new at this post PS stuff, but I dig it
#1 image I worked in many layers, including hue/sat on the flag only. I also used several layers to try and bring out the acorns and underbelly writings in the top dome, without losing the detail in the marbel itself. Personally think I did just OK (the more I view it the better I like it).
#2 This doesn't cut it
Thanks so much for your comments, you the man!!

Ok another try. This time I left the sky alone and use levels layer/mask on the ground and blimp, oh yeah I started with a slightly underexposed image. I also uped the sat on the same selection with another layer, then flattened and a tiny USM.
Whadya think
