1. looks familiar. did you take the STi up there and did some shots when you had it?

Yes, good eye!

The secret to your desaturated high detail look is that CS5 users have an HDR toning image adjustment tool which will pretty much give you that look with a few clicks

I noticed that when I was looking at CS5, the HDR feature seems much better. I just ordered my legit copy of Photoshop CS5 last night for Mac, Im going to make the switch to an iMac next week.

its pretty tough trying to replicate Sean’s work … i think you could jack the contrast a bit and if you use topaz adjust, crank the detail bar up + radius and then mask in the some of the extra detail … thats what i would try first

Thats kinda what I did, topaz adjust helped a little but in my eyes its not quite perfect or where I want it. I dont think I really want to exactly replicate Seans shots, some look a little overcooked and almost video game like, I just want a little more detail and some contrasty desaturation. It sounds so simple but it can drive me nuts lol.
