I appreciate your comments! Can you give me some idea on sharpening settings when scaling for the internet? Here's the original image detail of my image in a 100% crop. Can you tell me what kind of monitor you're viewing this on?
Nice capture of the chickadee. I always find it difficult to catch the detail in the black part of the bird. It looks like you did that very well. Nice shot.
Hi Chris....this 100% crop appears to have some sharpening applied at the full size....in camera maybe?
I sharpen at final size only. Once you have sized for web, if you are using USM globally, try anywhere from 80% to 200%+.....radius .2 or .3 and 0 threshold
or you can apply in varied amounts selectively via a layer mask.
Interesting, on my crt the Little Bird looks soft, on the LCD on my laptop it looks slightly over sharpened. I'll post a new version trying your method. Be back shortly...
I agree it's likely a Black-capped Chickadee. Carolina Chickadee is similar but occurs in different region. Where was the bird photographed (state, nearest town)?
Larry, shot in PA, near Doylestown, actually Peace Valley Park.
Dave, here's a second draft with your sharpening, .3 200 0, hmm, I guess since I'm at the upper limits of your parameters, I'm still over sharpening? Dave?
