I like the light, transparency and colours.
Did you tried a strong unsharp mask? Usually it works well in this kind of subject.Regards;Manuel Sousa

Not just a recording!

Hi Donald, there doesn?t seem to be a rating window here, but even so I say give em a 10. You have most definitely given this shot your personal stamp and not just recorded it. BRAVO, well done.

Thanks for the comments Manuel. This is my first effort at a more sophisticated sharpening technique. I usually use either the 'unsharp mask' or 'smart sharpen' filters in CS2 but in this case I used the 'edge sharpening' technique from the following link.

Thank you for your kind remarks Randall. I post my photos here in order to receive constructive criticism and to share the eye candy. It gives me a lot of pleasure when someone whose images I enjoy, likes one of mine.
