Superb!

However, I feel it to be slightly over sharp?

 

Gorgeous photo all the same.

Hi John,

 

I am still learning how to sharpen correctly.

Could you please describe what indicates over-sharpening to you in the image above.

I would greatly appreciate that.

 

Of course, with my question I don't want to offend Ece in the least! If I do, sorry.

 

Best, K-H.

Thank you for your time to look and for your thoughts and comments. I appreciate the input and your encouragement very much.

 

K.H. I do welcome your question as we can all learn something from the outcome. I appreciate the fact that you raised it. I know there are many variables that go into each of us viewing an image (monitors, calibration, etc.). I didn't do any sharpening to this image, but maybe my "export" function out of LR is misbehaving.

Hi Ece,

 

Thanks for your reply. I noticed in my own images - when I over-sharpen at full resolution and then scale down - there seems to be added to the image a texture of extremely fine black and/or white detail.

 

When I look at the big boulder and its texture or the fine light branches in front of the upper left corner of the big boulder I can see something faintly similar to my own experiences. If there is over-sharpening in your image, to me it appears to be borderline.

 

That's why I asked my question to John and I would appreciate his reply.

As I said, I am pretty new to photography as a serious hobby and to Leica gear in particular.

The technical discussions in this forum have been most educational and enjoyable for me.

 

Thanks again.

 

Best, K-H.

Hi K.-H.,

 

I am with you. I am trying to learn the mysteries of PP :confused:

 

What I've noticed is that sometimes, exporting from LR for posting (which is also reducing the image) changes the "look" of an image ever so slightly though I can't exactly put my finger on it as to why or how? Either the color contrast or sharpness or a combination of the two seem to change just a tiny little bit.

 

When I processed this image, I did not do any sharpening because it already looked sharp enough to me, especially with the light/shadow contrasts all over the frame. But I do see what you are describing and it looks a tad bit different here on the forum page (the reduced frame) than what I see within LR, viewed at full frame, though to my eyes the difference doesn't appear to be in the sharpness but in tonal contrast. And, it is so slight that I don't mind it, but it would be good to know what's going on.

 

Like I said, the mysteries of PP...At least for me, they don't reveal themselves too easily, so I can use all the help I can get.

 

Ece
