Great work Adam- impressive sharpening whilst keeping images relatively noise-free, especially on a bridge. Well done

Nice shots Adam, I think No. 3 is the best

[Kayleigh]

My favourites are #2 and #5 - they look far more 'natural' to me.
There's a very fine line between sharpening and overworking. Sometimes it's best to leave an image for a while and go back to it before doing more in PS.
If you want to sart selling you'll have to avoid sharpening -except a tiny amount.

Having said that I'm extremely impressed at the standard of the images - especially considering your age!! I'd like to see your stuff in another 10 years You'll probably be winning the adult Wildlife Photographer of the Year then
Ever thought about studying a degree in wildlife photography like my OH?

thanks for the kind comments

I do know what you mean about the fine line with sharpening, but I'm still learning, so I'm sometimes getting it wrong, and it can be quite tricky sharpening to the right amount with my budget (by professional standards anyway) camera set up
