Coo lumme!
The mountains are beautiful, Brian and I envy you your scenery.
But I don't envy you the amount of processing you have carried out; I
hardly ever sharpen my images and if I do it's in rather desultory
manner, as if it's expected ... not that I believe it's needed. But I
certainly don't feel it's necessary to resize an image in stages like
that, far less sharpen it all the while.
