Hi Peter,
What would you suggest as an aperture size?
Colin
I would think f8-f11 and focus on the lamp on the right or a bit closer. You should then have all the foreground in crisp focus. Impossible to do without a tripod of course, and I agree not convenient to have one with you all the time.Hi Peter,

I like the scene, the perspective draws the eye into the picture. Warmish tones are nice too.
I do think it is unsharp though. I see you used 1/8 and f4. I think you are suffering with camera shake at 1/8, and this is harming the picture in my view. The scene also needs a smaller aperture to add depth of field.
Could you try again with a tripod ?

As I understand it a raw file needs some "capture sharpening" at the raw conversion stage.
After resizing you are right to use the USM to do "output sharpening".
My question is what size are you viewing the final image at when you apply USM ? Only 100% view makes sense.

I remember when you first posted this and there was debate as to whether the vapour trail enhanced or detracted.
I cannot remember what the consensus was, but I think it is a great shot with it included.
