USM has to be done very carefully on a high-frequency image like
this. It can cause a harsh and jangly look in fine details at low rez
for the web.
I'd try again, sharpening selectively only on areas that need it.

Thanks. I agree about the rendering overall... I'm perplexed.
Curious why you think it might be oversharpened. I did USM it, but
I figured the broken rock in the foreground, would/should, being
closer to the lens display a little more detail.
It's nice ... lots of nice shapes and textures in it. This web-
rez rendering is not great, however. The foreground seems
oversharpened; something is just not quite right about it.
