Good catch.  Yes, after converting to sRGB in PhotoShop I used PhotoShop 
to downsize the image but forgot to sharpen it.  I normally use 
BreezeBrowser to downsize and generate HTML and it applies a small 
amount of sharpening.  Work on these images so far has been limited to 
exposure adjustments in ACR and some cropping and my right wrist is 
already paying the penalty for that.

Try this version

which is part of the larger set here built by BreezeBrowser 
<http://www.chucknorcutt.com/pierce_creek_2007/index.htm>

All of these were auto converted as you suggest.  Now I've got to go 
back and convert a bunch of other stuff.  Probably everything I've shot 
since installing CS3.  At least it forced me to learn a bit about 
actions and batch processing.

BTW, are you going to send your highlight/shadow warning?
