Really nice, I also like the texture. I can almost imagine the feeling on my hands if I were climbing up this.
Best wishes,
Shelby

I think this is beautiful - a bit Ansel Adems-y, and I don't think it's oversharpened at all: I find that when reducing shots to this size for screen display, they sometimes benefit from a degree of sharpening you'd never normally use. Tim

I appreciate the comments. I'm sure it was something I did incorrectly. It's all part of the learning curve. Considering the lens size and the monopod, I was very happy with the detail. Thanks LVPG

Wow, what a massive improvement. I didn't like it at all before and noww i do.
Conversion for web really does clobber some images badly.
Flick.

That's much better - I guess it might technically be over-sharpened, but now I really like it - I'm sure it has more of the spirit of the original. Jono

Thanks Warren. It lost a lot in the down-sample and upload. The tif file is very sharp. I re-posted a "sharper" image last night. That tif file looks too sharp, but looks better here.
