I guess you're right abt the apparent lack of sharpness in the posted image. The image was scanned on a Nikon Coolsan 4000 @ 4000dpi . The detail is there all right coz on a 30x40cm print you can see each tiny ripple on the water's surface.
I guess it must be the jpeg compression and downsampling to web size that lost some detail. I did not re sharpen after downsampling. on the web its only 700px on the longest side so i expect some detail to be lost. Patrick On 5/3/06, Tom C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I wonder though if it's either very very slightly out of focus or if there was some slight camera movement during the exposure. I don't see a lot of detail across the board. I expect the water to be blurred, but the rocks and moss don't jump out at me with the 'crispness' I would expect. If the original *is* crisp (not sure if this was a transparency or negative) under a loupe, then I might try to redo the post capture processing, scanning, etc. How was it scanned? By yourself or was it a photofinisher? Tom C.
