This document applies the following information, which was used in Photoshop CS4. It may or may not apply to other Photoshop products.

1. Make a duplicate layer of the photo
2. With duplicate layer selected, set the blending mode to Hard Light
3. Set the Opacity to 0% and then increase it to a point that improves the photo to your liking, this may be less than 50% or slightly more.
4. From Layers, use Merge.
5. I topped off your photo by using Filter/Unsharp mask set to 115%, Radius 1.5 pixels, and Threshold Level at 1. If the detail is fine it needs to be higher, 130 to 180%.

Information:
Radius: 1.5 or lower-- 2 for very large print file sizes more than 30mb and 1 for 6mb or less.

Threshold:
Low gives a high sharpness, but also sharpens noise, and other Artifacts. For most digital cameras use a threshold level of 3 to 4. If you find any noise problems increase to 10 or 12

This reference is to the photo I posted showing the sharpness correction I made.

If this helped I will send you the proceedure.

Clarity Attempt

I thought that after my post, when I saw it probably only had a two inch barrel.

Thanks for posting, but who did you shoot? I only see five bullets.

Do sunglasses help when you look through the view finder?

I like the first photo, but what is the green stuff on the limb he is sitting on. Do you have green chickens?

Welcome from the Great North West.

How come your hiding in Montana? Welcome to UHH
Funny what runs though my mind when I see this.
Hiding from the IRS, Witness protection, Ugly Separation/divorce, and or, On the run from the law.

I once attempted to get warranty service on an emergency battery supply unit. They refused as they said I had not submitted a registration card. Peg my Pardon, "I said," I registered via the internet as an option you gave. The reply was the same, you didn't submit a registration card. With this outfit one would have to send the card registered mail.

Welcome from the N.W.

Thanks for the input.

After viewing results on UHH of HDR modifications of photo's. I thought I would give it a try. That turned out to be a mistake.
It seemed to work on one photo, however when I tried another set of photo's Merging To HDR failed. It failed and it failed, with Photoshop's screen showing nothing after the merge.

Other functions in Photoshop also failed to work, as did my Intuos pad functions.

I noted that a internet search for a cure indicated many others have had problems with Photoshops Auto merge to HDR. with no solutions posted.

I ended up thinking a reinstall of Photoshop would cure the problem, no way. I then reset Photoshop, and I was back in business, however my Intuos pad failed to function. I reinstalled the Intuos software, and now it is functioning again.

So I have decided that I will not use Photoshops HDR function, and save myself the problems that came with it. I will continue to appreciate some of the minor HDR modification to Photo's on UHH.

Use an open mind. Look up Atmospheric Refraction Phenomena, specifically "Lateral Mirage." I guess I am streching for an explanation, but any thing is possible.

If the shutter wasn't fast enough there would be blur to the subject matter, showing movment. It almost seems like there were reflections on different elements of the lens.

I really like this photo of the Mountain. Detail in the shadows adds much to the photo. It has good clarity. Looks like it should be on a calendar.

It brings back memories of when I use to camp at the Weherhouser camping grounds on the North Fork of the Toutle River, right by the bridge that goes into Toutle proper. I had fished the North, and the South Fork of the river, prior to the eruption.
