Well I'm not a pixel peeper, so no lessons from me, and my tag line tells you how I feel about sharpness. I thing you gave us a nice set of photos plus a little lesson on Buddhism, which I know very little about. I think the second image is fantastic and the first one is right behind it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments, and not being a pixel peeper. Being a good Maoist from university days in the '60s, I definitely second that tag line by HCB re sharpness. And yes, I've moved on in philosophical terms and find Buddhism a more sophisticated and gentle way to live one's life than the pedantry of Mao or Marx, or indeed most other forms of cultural systems of behaviours and practices.

I was hoping for some feedback on using Lightroom B&W filters and sharpness and denoise. I know there are more sophisticated filter sets such as Topaz and Nik, but my old version 4 of Lightroom seems to do the job quite nicely for my purposes, certainly better than the basic filters in Picasa or other rudimentary programs.
