2nd one was shot with a old uncoated 9" veritos (portrait lens) when shot wide open like that you end up with a veiling flare that give a glow (it's not 'soft focus'.. the detail is there.)Thanks! I fussed over the sharpening on this one as the first pass to a web-rez version really looked awful. It took a touch of this and a touch of that to restore the vividness of the full resolution image.
Love the "stockbridge machine company" photo. The other one seems somehow oddly flat in the mid tones.
