Yea! ... really sharp. Any special post processing? Which body?

Tahiti is so beautiful.

The body I used is a 50D , and about post processing , I used Lightroom 2 : added a bit of Clarity (+25-30 ) , Vibrance ( +5-10 ) and Saturation ( +5-10 ) , and I sharpened a little ( about 30-35 with a 20 details ) , then added some Black ( +10 instead of base 5 ) and a bit of Fill light ( +5 ). Cropping and resizing were done with Photoshop CS4.

I'm more confortable with Photoshop for that kind of tasks :)
And I think you can do the exact same things with photoshop ( Lightroom stuff ) but I like Lightroom interface and ease of use vs the "Image > Adjustments > blah blah" with Photoshop , and I'm lazy :D

My gosh, warm water.:oops:

I am in the wrong part of the world.

You certainly have the "technique" part down in that your certainly getting the sharpest possible settings as many have mentioned.

#3 has the best overall feel to it.
