I like it, very well done, good coloures.

Thanks, I still think it's a little soft. Trying real hard to nail that one crystal clear shot and then I can get on with life.

Good 1st duck :thumbs: way better than my first one.
Did you sharpen after resizing for the Web?
I tweeked it a bit and it's not come up too bad at all, I didn't do much to it, just a crop,tiny lift to levels, colour, then sharpen.:shrug: What do you think?

That's better. I sharpened once in Picasa and then resized it in Elements so I could upload it, nothing else. Didn't think about sharpening prior to saving for the web. Will study that process before the day is out.

Thanks for your help & advice.

Do all your tweaking and resizing first, sharpen should be the last thing you do before uploading it to the Web, you get better results.:thumbs:

Bit of an easy spot I'm afraid; Slimbridge.
