Question

NEF RAW 16-bit can I upload it here for review?

I shot something over my head sharpening and wondering if I can post the original .nef here for free educational use -- royalty free perpetual licensing released in Public Domain) -- I think it may be interesting in a sharpening exercise sense.

 

I can post it on a download link (inside a .zip) or how would I attach the original .nef here so you would have the original RAW file

 

If this isn't permitted -- please delete

 

here is a peek (I putzed around with it a bit)

---shot on Nikon D810, Nikkor 105MM 2.8 4912x7360 (very close)

---Sample opened in CS6, RAW, ProPhotoRGB, 16-bit

---viewed at 100percent on a 5K Retina screen running Mojave/CS6

 

I think it could be sharpened better

By all means please post a link to the RAW-image. 

Did you do any notable sharpening in the RAW development?

ok -- no interest -- i never did mind having conversations with myself...

 

Im going back to school looking for a few tutorials -- i recall sharpening can be applied in channels -- i think my general sharpening approach barely scratched the surface of bringing out the potential of this particular image

 

this is what the original scene looked like -- when the backlight hit that leaf the magic happened...
