thanks for looking. For me it's sharp enough as is. However if I wanted to make a print out of it, I'd definitely sharpen it a bit to compensate for the loss of sharpness during the printing. OTOH I'm interested to see how sharp is sharp enough for you (and not just for you, everybody is welcome) - please download the full resolution version, play with the sharpen filter and post your settings (I have access to PSE4 & 5, PS CS & CS2, Lightroom beta and GIMP) so I can reproduce it. Thanks. One more thing - how the picture looks on your screen WRT to brightness & color fidelity? I'm still trying to figure out what caused the apparent darkness/muddiness in one of my previous posts (moire/aliasing thread). My guess is either different Gamma setting or some color profile displacement (my camera was set to AdobeRGB back then).
