Great series, Kyle.
The ones I like most: 10, 11, 2, 4, 9, aDSC_4538, aDSC_4564: they say  
alot without showing much.
About oversharpening: 13, 22 and 6 are the only ones where it bothers  
me. Due to jpeg compression?
About muddy: I kinda like these subdued images, and wouldn't call  
them muddy at all.
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
