Welcome back King of the punsters.

Wonderful silhouettes of these dog walkers and a lovely tone to the finished presentation. I'm sure I can see two golden retrievers and two west highlands. Our Bonnie would have loved to go to the seaside. Best wishes Chris..........Ray

100% size and 100% original!


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 12/8/2005
Yes, it is sharp, Roger ~ a quality that some have said they like and others don't. Fair enough. But it's not the result of 'unsharp mask' as I barely added any sharpness at all after editing the shot in RAW. (Something like 50% at .3 of a pixel, to be precise.) But I have to confess to being a little disappointed that the only aspect of the shot you felt you could comment on was the so-called 'artifacts'?

In fact, I'm not convined that what you're seeing are artifacts at all. Here are a couple of small areas of the shot, reproduced at 100% size, straight from the original RAW image, with NO editing at all. I think what you're seeing is a halo effect created by the extremely strong, and very low, sunlight.

Best regards, Chris

WOW Chris, beautiful golden (Retriever) tones!!!! Wonderful silhouettes, great view, lovely reflections.... well captured!!! BTW I couldn't Cairn less about getting Westie feet here.... if I could get such a cracker of a shot, it's a bit sharp but somehow it fits... I think so anyway...

The master of words... No doubt that is why you have the job that you do.. I was thinking along the lines of On Golden Pond. You probably don't know about that movie. You must have spent all the Queens gold on this shot to get it this color. Don.
