Thought it was about time I posted something in here. This is a local sunset shot cropped slightly taken using the sunset preset settings i'm afraid. I just seem to get better shots when I don't set them up myself and resort to the camera settings. Sad but true. If anyone has any better sunset settings let me know.
There are a few more on the sunset & pano threads too.

Don that's like one of those spot the difference games. It's a nice shot but I just wondered what you had done to the image in general though. The original looks quite sharp and contrasty but it seems to look a bit unnatural somehow, almost like a plastic replica even though I suspect it wasn't.

Don, I had similar feelings to Phil on the photo. I think that it is the slight softness to the white feathers around the neck/shoulder area. Could have been the bird moved, but I suspect it was a DOF thing. The feet and face seem to be in the plane of focus. It is something about the combination that looks off in my mind,
