This is a shopping area near a US Forces Base in Okinawa.
Richard - Thank you for the words of wisdom yesterday. I took this shot at the faster 1/125 and it was better. Then I went to PS and used the "unsharp mask" and then I went to the Edit menu and used the "fade unsharp mask, and played with the mode setting. I liked the darken best so I chose that. I think this one is better than the unprocessed image. I can tell a big difference -- especially in the detail of the tree fronds.Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my photos. And for those who left a comment - a double thank you!

I'll tell you what I like in this image:the barrels and the car next to them - such an unromantic combination, but it works; and then the "shisaa" where the zebra begins! I'm fascinated by these mythical animals! I have two in my tourist closet. First time I visited Okinawa I couldn't stop saying...."look, inu da!" Don't despair! Learning to work with the Photoshop can take a lifetime! I might be just a little better than you, but not by much! (The apples were very good, even the green one which I generally never buy!) I heard there's spring already in Okinawa! Gabriela

I love your photos. If there was one word to describe them, I'd say they were "culture-injected." For this photo, I'd probably small aperture and a slow shutter speed (with a tripod, of course) to show the hustle and bustle of the place.
colourful shot!

There are some lovely details in the image, I like the range of colour, and the different things to look at. The Photoshop work here is excellent, it looks pin sharp to me, and an impressive range of tones. Good work, and enjoy using Photoshop, I'm sure you will pick up all its tricks really quickly.
