All shot on film BTW, The MSN slideshow did seriously soften them up. It seems I'll have to change email providers so I can send files as they were originally meant to be. Since you got a lot of responses on your bicycle portfolio already, I will just add this: Great choice of subjects! The humble bicycle doesn't usually get the respect it deserves.

In general, scanned images always require some sharpening; images taken with digital cameras do as well if you shoot RAW; if you shoot JPEG, then sharpening takes place in the camera and you should not need to sharpen further in Photoshop.
