Re: PESO: Red Tail - Bruce
Bruce, I took a close look at your rendering and honestly don't see an appreciable difference between yours and mine. However, I wasn't able to pull yours up for a closer look. The version posted is a downsized jpeg from a crop which is less than 20% of the original file. Considering Ann's comments and those of mine above, I'm comfortable with what I have. I don't mind at all your downloading and doing some editing if you like and appreciate your thoughts.

There's only so much one can do with a 900px image, but just for grins I did some nature retouching. :-) Here's my attempt; see what you think: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ukowkramcjnm8v/RedTailHawk%28bmw%29.jpg I'll remove it after Ann has rendered her verdict. :-) LOL! I thought Jack's original post was better to my eye I can't remember the buzz word for that little halo effect that happens when you fiddle too much to get a sharper image... or fiddle with brightness and contrast too much... The original was terrif, I thought ann (slumping under the weight of responsibilty) On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 4:29 PM, Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com wrote: Bruce, at your urging, I applied despeckle filter in addition to reduce noise filter and bumped the contrast a bit more.
