This afternoon I did a gig shooting a nice Gentleman's house for a print he wanted to frame. The lighting was harsh and uneven so I shot an HDR and both he and I were very happy with it.

He lived near the river so I snapped a few Duck shots before leaving.

Nice work, MM. I really like that comp on that third one.

[JayinMN]

Great BIF. I am partial to the 1st one.

Nothing beats a little mallard belly...I like 2 and 4.

[mmeyer]

Very nice! #1 and #2 do it for me!

[Jim Almquist]

Really like #4 but they are sharp.

Thanks everyone.

What Jim said makes me wonder,how much sharpening does everyone apply? I know it depends on the photo,but it's hard to determine where everyone has their monitor set when it comes to sharpness.

My new 22" lcd monitor had a default setting of 62 and I rolled it back until it mimicked the sharpness of my old CRT.

If someone has their monitor set to a very high sharpness level it wouldn't take much sharpening to make an image look "oversharpened"

These weren't sharpened very much-#2 in camera and 30% USM in PS. They look about right to me,but if they look too sharp please let me know.

Anyone else have theories on this?

These look pretty good to me MM. Might be a tad sharpened but I am looking at them on a new 24" LCD myself so it may be a bit before I get used to how things look.

Tell me about it! I looked long and hard for a new 20" crt-but no dice.

You should have mail.

Sorry about that but what I tried so poorly to say was they were all sharp but some where between the brain and keyboard something malfunctioned

[MARINERMAGNUM]

No problem!

I know where to have everything set to get razor sharp prints-so all is good.
