It's another genre for me.

A big step from anything else I've posted. (and you should see the 'rest of Rita' -- she's a knockout)

Thanks for the praise.

This photo was not 'sharpened', so to speak.

That is to say, it was not 'sharpened' any more than 'in the camera' sharpening, which for Nikon is considered by most to be very, very mild.

All digital captures require some sharpening, according to 'Shutterbug' Magazine in post-processing, but maybe this is an exception. And they say that applies especially to Nikon DSLR captures because of the relative 'softness' of the in-camera sharpening.

For what it's worth.

A black and white version of this photo also has been processed -- desaturated in Channel Mixer and may be uploaded here or somewhere else as the whim strikes me.

Or I may print it large and put it on a wall.
