Here's another image from my morning out with James on the bay.

edit: nice clean image....a pleasure to view

Looks perfect to me with great sharpness and my fave wing position. (There were two of the same image in the pane so I got rid of one of them.)

Later and love, artie

[Jim Poor]

Thanks Artie, but now I don't see any :(

JIm:

I really like the overall image, but on my Mac the eye looks funny. Did you do selective sharpening on it? Perhaps it is just my monitor.

Great pose and details, the stick adds to it. Maybe a tad more contrast.

[Jim Poor]

I originally tried Artie's process on the eye, but decided the image didn't need it. The eye looks great at 100% even with no sharpening at all. After looking at it some more (though for some reason I can't see the image in this thread:confused: ) I think that the pupil dilation is the culprit. I'll post a 100% of the eye in a few . . .


Edit:

Ok, here is the eye with no processing other than conversion. . .

[Arthur Morris]

Hey Jim, I am still seeing the posted image... If you have a sec, shoot Blake and e-mail; maybe he can figger it out...

later and love, artie

Hey Jim,

Love the pose and details on this one. Nothing else to say. One of your best!

[Robert Amoruso]

Excellent image Jim. Works in all ways.
