Gorgeous shot, DPR. Jetties never get old :)
Rooz, I really like the idea of Land that Time Forgot, but what about those halos? Believe me I know tree branches are the worst for halos.
Even though I know you'll show me up in no time, I'm still excited to see your landscapes :)
edit: how 'bout you just stay out of Wyoming for me? :D :D
re-edit: I take it back. Come here and teach me how to shoot :D

At least you have the US Customs Service to give him a hard time at the border. -

Wow either that pic is oversharpened or something else about it hurts to look at it...
Any sharpening applied there JTL? It looks like a good photo that was maybe a bit overcooked... -

Don't tell me you're lucky enough to actually live near Lake Como, not just holiday there? -
09-22-2008, 08:15 PMJTLRooz is right. Got to watch the Active D in bright afternoon sun. Too much contrast as DPR noted as well. Also, there was a bit of grain in the sky, so I applied a a touch of NR, but did not change the default sharpening that the NX2 NR applies...which was obviously a mistake! I will attempt to undue the damage after I get two or three days sleep...:DQuote:

Also, no sharpening at all was applied after the fact (but, I did not eliminate the effect of the in-camera sharpening setting). It is better...a subtle, yet profound difference. I forgot to straighten this one, though! Thanks everyone for the feedback...
