if you use photoshop try sharpening with these 2 methods:
1) after resizing your photo, duplicate the layer then apply the unsharp mask filter with strength 500% and radius 0.5, threshold 0, then go to "EDIT" and go fade effect (i think thats waht its called, on WIN use shortcut STRG+SHIFT+F) and select Luminosity at 60%.
then you can reduce the layers opacity to your liking in terms of how sharp you need your image to be or you can alternatively use a layermask to apply selective sharpening.
2) instead of 1, you could also after resizing your photo use the Smart Sharpen filter with strength (depends on your image), radius 0.2 or 0.3 and with the method "Lens Blur" instead of the standard "Gaussian Blur" selected.
i personally sharpen in the beginning of the editing process after i apply noise reduction then once more after resizing for web. i use method 1, not 2 but its really up to you
try it out if you can/like and let me know if you ve got any questions.
oh and thanks for the nice comment

no problem.
sharpening after resizing is a must

yep just did a few tests, big difference - I also hadn't been using unsharp mask like that - not sure I understand how it works setting the blend mode to luminance??

meemo In reply to addr010 [2008-01-15 09:55:02 +0000 UTC]
well after you apply the filter, go to the "EDIT" menu up top, select "FADE FILTER..." then you can select the blendmode in the window that pops up, i usually use luminance and 60%

great use of the lens curvature... this is a really nice moving shot, with plenty of colour and light to keep my eye entertained!

i was actually surprised at how tricky these shots are, without soaking your camera

merci,
i dont really speak a lot of french though
what does "l'aurais" mean? i understand the rest though

meemo In reply to Pascale-Marry [2008-01-14 20:18:47 +0000 UTC]
thanks
this turned into a bit of a french lesson for me.. very good.
i personally think it looks better in colour, just had a look in photoshop how it would look in B&W and i think it looses its impact
anyway, thanks a lot for you comment.

mariiie In reply to meemo [2008-01-14 04:20:11 +0000 UTC]
it's conditional verb tense
je l'aurais means I would have
je l'aurais prรฉfรฉrรฉ, I would have prefered
I'm not quite sure about the " prefered " since my last english class was a year ago, but anyway
nice picture. The colors are wonderful. Wish it was as warm here as it seems to be on your picture
