Great shots, as usual!

 

wow great pics!!! bravo...

however, take it easy on USM.
some of these pics are WAY too sharp for my eyes.
too sharp...i think my eyeballs are bleeding.

 

Pls keep in mind that all images here a downscaled. The bi-cubic sharper algo is not complex enough to avoid oversharpening in these small resolutions.

 

How did i do on this one yall?

 

There are some really nice shots on this thread

Here are my meager contributions:

 

Bear - that's a funny pic! Your son??

 

 

i love this shot. it's like an old warrior making his way to heaven

 

Thanks... I played around a lot with this image. The original was nothing but a screw up! Honestly, I was trying different modes (just had gone digital and made a lot of mistakes) and decided to render the photo as a vintage shot. Below is another incarnation less the diffuse glow and noise added.

 

I like the other better, though.. btw, KONA.
