dude, I have no idea... my brain is fried. I just finished defending my PhD thesis earlier this morning and it was taxing...

anywho, maybe get rid of some those HDR effects would be a decent first step, imo.

no HDR, just one exposure, the halo you see on Mercedes Benz sign is from the neon signs and maybe due to the strong sharpening

The strong diagonal lines more than make up for the looseness of following the rule-of-thirds. Strong diagonals can add lots of power to an image.

Why sharpen so much?

[adrean8j]

Sooo....looked what walked by my office this evening. Not much to shoot out here (at least not what interests me) so I was pretty excited. Was pitch black...used a little Mag-lite for lighting:

It's a web sharpen action I made on CS5. That's how it is when I try to save time and run my photos in a batch.

Well in the interest of full disclosure he had just been blasted with a serious does of "Bug Stop" (yeah that is the actual name of the product) so he was probably trying to figure out what the curious sensation was coursing through his myriad limbs.

The Mag-lite actually worked out great due to being very mobile and not over-bearing...a much softer light than I expected versus those LED flashlights that have become so popular in the last few years. Being able to angle it for the best lighting was a big plus. I probably could have gotten a sharper shot but given the darkness and the subject I was not really gonna mess about to much

haha, especially after you just pissed it off
