either has it's merits.

Hi Frank,
As others, I'd prefer something midway through both of the images. The
sharp one almost looks artificial.

I prefer the original. Or actually, somewhere in between to be quite
honest. The improved version is overly sharpened and saturated,
leaving many of the details and tonal range messed up, IMO. Nice pic tho.

Yes, I agree. It has a sort of timeless quality; could almost have been
taken in the 50s.
Mind you, it is Canada. :-)

You've dashed the hope of your signature line and gone sharp on us.
How sad!! ...

Great shot, really. Timeless. You've caught Youth and Summer in this

Hi Frank,
There's something to be said for the new version. I like the
sharpneing, and I like the reduced highlights. I would choose it over
the original. But I think you can do better. In the new version, you've
lost all the shadow detail in the leaper's face. I'd go back to the
original and
Hi Frank
you overdid it for me.
The face of the jumper is too dark now and I don't mind the background and
the people there being a bit on the light and overexposed side because it
draws the attention more on the main subject.
Your second version is not an improvement for me therefore, maybe we

I think you went just a little too far with the new one. I like the summer
brightness of the first but I think just a touch of curves would help.
Same with the sharpening. A bit too much and even a touch too much on the
jumper in the original as there is a halo in front of his body.
A great
Super shot Frank!
I'm still a bit in shock seeing these sharp, well focused,
perfect DOF, COLOR shots from you! ;-)

Good grab, Frank. I like the way you framed it with the leaper at the
far right. You must have cropped it!! Did you take it off the top or
the bottom. I wouldn't mind seeing more at the bottom.

Aesthetically, I tend to like this more thean the other, although the
