I agree wholeheartedly. Normally I probably would have applied a minute amount of sharpening to this photo for just a hint of "pop." I presented this unsharpened version merely to make a point that all sensors, and all aa filters are not created equal; and that not sharpening "is" a viable "option" for ccd sensors without aa filters; depending on a subject who's aesthetic is enhanced by not sharpening.
