The shorties were showing again yesterday afternoon but not always where I wanted them. Still not easy to get the images, the site was a little busier which cut down the usuable angles on flight shots. Mustn't grumble as I am sure my not too insignificant bulk was at times in the way as well.

Nikon D3X with Nikon 600mm lens and 1.7TC.
1/640sec, F6.7 at ISO 400.
PP in LR3. Full Frame.

Jules, I must admit that I am very lazy when it comes to sharpening for this forum as I just run the images throught LR3's standard sharpen for screen, so it may take a bit more. There is also a lot of haze which has been accentuated by shooting into the sun which you may be noticing. Andrew

It means to emphasize, heighten or make more conspicuous.
