That's either badly sharpened or badly resized.

Mine ?

[2ndclasscitizen]

Yes, yours.

[drakkie]

Yes, yours.

In that case I don't really get your point Although the hi-res does better justice to it, I have it perfectly sharp displayed on my monitor.

My point is:

My point is:

What makes you think so ? Explain yourself please... Is it THAT hard to do ?

As I don't see a problem with it, any explanation is welcome !

I think we can give construction criticism without the need for sarcasm

[speedy_2]

I don't think it's badly sharpened, maybe just badly resized. Also, looks like a bit too much shadows/highlights adjustment. i.e. the white halo around the superstructures. On second thought. All the jaggies would be a sign of over sharpening. Might want to watch out for those. Thin lines in a digital picture are real susceptible to that when sharpened.

Thanks. Atleast I can do something with this for the next time

True ! I love it too and I dare to call it (one of) my best pictures yet. It isn't perfect, I know that, but the perfect picture doesnt exist. It was actually quite suprising to me it turned out so well. I found an old 80's tripod on the attic and decided to take it out there, to get a bit of a feel for it. You'll see more pictures of this shoot soon. It isn't the only really good one (!)

PS:
I was bored...
