About the Image(s)
Camera: Canon Powershot SX720HS
Editing software: Photoshop Elements.
Images are taken from a moving and rocking train. Images come in and out of frame in an instant. Tripod and stabilizing equipment use out of the question. The view is mostly downward. The windows are thick, tinted, and often covered with dust and considerable post processing often has to be used.
I focus on the usually unseen forgotten, abandoned, and left to the elements. This image was cropped and because of this I find cropped images to be blurred even after using the sharpen tool. No other processing was done Anyone with ideas on how to make small images sharp suggestions on what can be done to improve the image always welcome

Hi Kenneth,
In response to your question about enhancing the sharpness of scenes from moving trains . . . did you take advantage of your camera's minimum shutter speed that appears to be 1/3200 of a second? Given your apparent distance away from the point of interest, a faster shutter speed would be my first suggestion. If you find that the resulting amount of noise is bothersome, you can then take advantage of current state of the art noise reduction software.
