Very nice. But the colors (especially the fence) seem a little unnatural. Did you enhance them? Or is this just sur-real?

[Don Schaeffer]

I used my ultra-sharpening merged withe regular photo trick. There is some color enhancement too.

i like the subject a lot here, the colors are really nice. personally, i would have not sharpened it as much. the background looks speckled, and theres a touch of too much noise scattered throughout the picture (could be from the ultra-sharpening trick). have you considered doing a soft lens blur filter in photo shop?

Good subject but I also find too much sharpening and much too noisy for my tastes.

Thanks guys. I'm getting a lot of oversharpening reaction. I like the effect but maybe I overdo it at times.
