Photographed this recently along the Merced River. I toned down the greens and yellows and added a some sharpness to give the willow leaves more detail.
Thanks for viewing

Floyd - I like the way the willow is isolated from the background by the different tones. The sharpening seems excessive on the web version, though your larger file might look OK.

Like the contrast between the softness of foliage and the rocks. Very pretty.

The composition and color looks GREAT!
I too think something is off. I'm not sure it is the amount of sharpening -vs- the type of downsizing and sharpening. Do you downsize using PS bicubic? If not, I would use bicubic (not bicubic sharper) and then maybe use the general pre sharpening technique that Adamus innovated. Size down to maybe 1800px then do some over sharpening, then size down to 720. If you dont know the technique a little research would yield it easily.
