G'day Shel, I was shooting pretty much straight into the sun (which I cropped out), so, as Jack Davis suggested It's not over sharpening, but back light haloing that your seeing. Down sizing for the web is maybe making it look as though it's over sharpened.
What your seeing in the background is the northern entrance (north mole) to the port of Fremantle. I was located on the south mole and from my angle it was impossible to compose a shot of the lighthouse without the sign included. It's a damn big "don't do this or that" sign placed to protect the port authority and local council from being sued should someone do something stupid. Anyway here's another version sans sign: http://tinyurl.com/au66g Thanks for looking. Dave On 6/12/05, Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Dave .... the pic looks over sharpened.
