Blue J and Cardinals

[mtngal]

These are really nice pictures, it's cool to have the extra reach. Just my opinion, but I thought they looked a bit soft (not horrible by any means, though)- you might want to try increasing your USM settings to bring out the detail in the feathers a bit more. Here's your third one that I used the USM tool in CS2 - think I might have gotten a bit too carried away though. Probably something in between my 2 second adjustment and yours would be better.

P.S. If you don't like it, let me know and I'll take it down. Not sure that I particularly like what I did to it myself!

Thanks Rodney

Mtngal I agree and like your edit also. I joined a camera club and bought this picture in but for my final edit I upped the usm just a little. On print it is real sharp. As always I like the advise I get and you won't hurt my feelings.
