Wonderful work Mary Anne, The colors and the lighting are gorgeous. Although you may think on doing doing some sharpening, but to me this natural softness looks beautiful for natural things :-) I am sure you'll find it pretty sharp even at the full size.

John, try increasing the contrast and upping the contrast, and you'll be amazed how much better most photos will look. Not for this challenge, however...that's why most of us are feeling a little frustrated. I'm finding, however, that I'm learning to pay more attention to composition and framing.

This image already looked sharp to me. But now that I am hearing all these comments I realize many of you have been sharpening your images. Guess I will have to do this too. I only remember one that I actually sharpened this whole time since I joined this group. John

Thank you Brent, Sue Anne, Penny, and Debi. It's so hard not to add some sharpening and contrast. Of course, using a tripod would have helped, but I didn't feel like lugging it along with me.

And another good one you have posted. The diner caught my eye first, but this is great too- love the color.
