Below is another flight shot for Northern Pintail. Haven't reprocessed this one using the new workflow. I hope the sharpening halo was not too obtrusive here.   NSW 3/11/2005 1D Mark II, EF600, f/4, 1/5000s, iso320   http://www.pbase.com/anguslau/image/51782756.jpg « Last Edit: Nov 29th, 2005, 11:04am by BBS Moderators » Logged MaC_siu_kit BBS Member BBS God I want 500mm  :( :)))     Gender: Posts: 119 Re: Northern Pintail « Reply #1 on: Nov 5th, 2005, 10:10pm » Quote Modify 好似真係SHARP左DD   Logged Anguslau BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 402 Re: Northern Pintail « Reply #2 on: Nov 5th, 2005, 10:27pm » Quote Modify Thanks, Mac_siu_kit! I know about the cause of the halo. I want to know whether my overall sharpening was too aggressive as well. Hope people can comment on this to help me fine tune my processing. Below are several more images of the same duck same flight, essentially same processing including same amount of sharpening. Just different form and background. Do they all look oversharpened?

I think the fine feather pattern on the bird's back doesn't do well under my strong dose of sharpening. I still like the "sharpness" on the wing though. I guess the remedy is again to selectively sharpen some parts of the image while avoiding too much usm on other parts which are more prone to artifacts. This means more complex workflow and more work! Well, I guess there are no free lunches, you get what you work for. I should not ask for consistently good results from a highly automated workflow!
