This is exactly what I was suggesting in your other post of fireworks... Just to leave..... it is not a car! it is a ship?

Sorry. It was really not clear to me in the other picture I have to say that I even worked with your picture in PS to see how it would look my recommendation before commenting and I always thought it was a car Rolleyes

I think this one doesn't look so sharp as the other one. What were your settings in your camera?

1 sec, f/11, ISO 500, did not change the zoom or the focus setting - was on manual with tripod and remote shutter. Heavy tripod placed on top of a large flat boulder. Shot taken towards the end, rather than towards the begining of the session (about 1/2 hour appart). In Lightroom, the photo looks sharper than in CS3 at the end of my manipulations. The main thing was switch to lab colour, sharpening using unsharp mask (12/1/3), fading the unsharp, swithching to 8 bit and reducing by bicubic reduction w sharpening to Jpeg. Pavel

I wouldn't know why your picture looks soft after your treatment. My settings with unsharp mask are a bit different they are around 60/.4/0 but I don't think this would make any difference. Now I am curious.
