  3. The great shots just keep on coming. At the risk of being photographically presumptious, can I ask what photoshop enhancement (if any) you apply before uploading your shots? If I can get close to the quality you routinely turn out I'd be chuffed. Cheers.

  4. Hi Clive. The only enhancements I make to my photos are sometimes a bit of cropping, sometimes a small amount of 'Unsharp mask' and I often play around with the levels a bit. I usually resize them to 400 px wide and that's it really - nothing too complicated as I don't really know how to use Photoshop!
