"Try making a duplicate copy of the background layer and change the blending mode to Luminosity. Then amount 145, radius 0.3, threshold 4 and see how you go.

The Luminosity mode does not affect colour or contrast as much as in Normal mode and allows for a more aggressive sharpening before halos show around the edges." - Peter Ryan

Thank you for the tip Peter. It took me a while to figure out what you meant because I know very little about the modes part about layers, but once I had it, it is definitely sharper. Maybe not a prize winner yet, but I have been having such trouble with all my shots because you just can not get a shot outdoors this time of year without a tangle of brush in it.

BTW: The over sharpening artifacts are from previously butchering the image. What I wanted to know was how to do it properly. There are a couple of images I am going to go back to now. ;)

I love tree silhouettes :)

The colours are great and it does set a mystery kind of mood. It is really cool that almost every branch stands out. This would be great as a cover on a mystery book.

I think so too...I've framed it in an antique looking wooden frame & it looks awesome & creepy LOL
Thanks for your comment :)

I have been tapping the technical expertise a fair bit, so time I contributed; no problem with trees, one of my favourites and I just selected a series of 10 for a local club project (but decided against)

A nicely executed example of this sort of image Peter

You may want to 'edit post' to give it your title instead of running on from mine; you may need to go to 'advanced' to do that

I've recently upgraded to a DSLR from a point and shoot. I really like being able to control depth of field to give a sense of depth to a shot. Still haven't got the hang of choosing the right aperture without trial and error though. And I need to work on my titles!
