looks a little too sharpened... a tad bit too fake, but thats me. Like a computer rendered car on a real image background.

Great shot, Hector.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure I keep the rest of my images soft and lacking contrast so they look "real". And the only sharpening I did was 0.8 USM after resizing for web. The rest of the sharpness was provided by the 100-400 L glass. Maybe I should put it though a tumble cycle in the dryer to fix the sharpness problem in my lens. :D

Seriously though I had fun playing in photoshop with this image and liked the way it turned out. I churn out tens of thousands of "real" photos a year. I'm sick of looking at them and wanted to create an image with the awesome factor turned up to 11. If I was eight years old this would totally be on my wall.

Thanks for checking it out anyway. I had fun with it.
