Regarding the sharpening - it is my own algorithm, which is not public yet (actually it is present in Zoner Photo Studio 11, but through a special hack only). The basic idea is very simple - image is decomposed into multiple planes which represent details of different sizes. Then the sharpening is performed by decreasing the amplitude of larger details and by increasing the amplitude of small details. With this approach the image gets softer look with less halos around the edges.

I like the image, so I tried to apply a few adjustments to improve it, see the result. It is just levels, blurred grey negative blend through overlay blend mode and then a special wavelet based sharpening.

ahh the great hippy trail.. I hit that a long time ago.. went to Nimbin before they all got there and wrecked the place then turned south and did the full expansion programme sitting contemplating the void (as Jack would say) looking over Albina.. with Owen Everett.. then of course who could forget the drive down to Tanja on the far south coast in Owen's old VW micro bus.. and then surfing at Tanja and Half Moon Bay smacked out of our heads then later opeing up the Mick taylors glorious guitar riffs on Exiles On Mainstreet... ahh glory days indeed

Jim, looking at this again, taken midnight on windy night on crappy tripod -the blurr all over it is messing up the sense of depth a bit too i think. :)

Golly.. more the fact that Jim has written so m uch more than anything.. that's amazing.. 123 words... you should feel honoured very honoured.. nice shot.. dont like the lack of focus on the rock in the foreground tho... suggests nervousness over rising tide as coastlines disappear

I love this. I like the colors. I like the angle. I like the depth/height. I have found that some pics I hold on to for ages because I saw something in them but did not really like them... did far better than I thought... because the image holds and conveys the photographers style. I do believe this is one of those images. To you it may not be exactly what you were looking for, but to us it has The "Tosh" (to borrow a bit) written all over it. And I really, really like the fact the eye cannot quite grasp the scale.... it makes one look and think. I love this. (It's the rock in the foreground that tips the hand)
