Bredhurst autumn walk

Whatever I do with this picture I cannot achieve the same clarity on this site

as it is on my pc. Frustration!!!!!! Any ideas. Phil

Better lighting and framing than the other one, although at first I thought I had open the same picture twice!

Phil...  I'm not sure if the method I use is the best available, but it's one I picked up here on PN.  Posting tends to dull the highlights and blur detail.  Prior to posting I resize my shot to double the posting size (2048px for landscape); in PhotoShop I then run the sharpen tool twice at approximately 75% value.  This will make the image look over sharpened, but then resize again to roughly 1024px wide (I use 800px tall for portrait).  The photo should still look sharp but then you may want to dodge the highlights just a little.  Post and see how you like it.  Hope this works for you.  Here's this shot using that method.  Of course it will look better using the original file...

Hi Phil,

Textbook composition here. Well done. I was about to say shame about the shaprness and then michael has come up with a solution for you (for onscreen anyway)

Nice one!
