Can I make a friendly suggestion? These are nice shots but maybe back off on the sharpening. They look really "Crispy"...

I know what you mean, but I actually didn't add any sharpening, beyond what DXO does for its standard lens correction. No unsharp mask at all. I've found that the DXO lens corrections are enough for sharpness. I did add some microcontrast, though, which is, I think, Photolab's equivalent of Lightroom's clarity. Perhaps that's what you're seeing?

Here's a comparison of one of the images I posted, and a reprocessed version with less microcontrast:

This is the same as I originally posted

This has a lower microcontrast setting

Is the second one more to your taste? Of course, conditions themselves were pretty crispy. Frozen lakes will always look at least a bit crispy.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
