A view of downtown Boston from the streets of the North End. Now that I'm using a DSLR, I sometimes forget what wonderful DOF my little G3 can provide.
I think the sharpening makes an improvement Mary Anne- looks nice. I'm not sure I would crop out the sky; part of what makes those distant buildings look new is their roofline.
Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think I should crop out the sky completely. I was thinking that it needs to be a vertical shot, but now that boring blue sky seems to be a distraction. What do you think?

I do like this image (its exactly my kind of subject, BTW), Mary Anne, but I think (*) you might want to try to make it even better with some slightly more aggressive sharpening. I do not, though, agree with what you write about DOF: the dSLR can provide as deep a DOF (if you know to handle it), while the compact digicam is unable to give you a shallow one (which is a wonderful creative tool as youwith no doubtwill soon find out!). db.
