Default sharpen up my pics please?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could make these pics look a litter sharper, or clearer. I am by no means a good photographer so please keep the criticism to a minimum.My GF wants to make them into framed photos for me and she wants them too look as good as possible. thanks alot for your help guys.

FYI '05 600 before anyone asks, thanks again

lasso JUST the bike then sharpen it. nets, gates, any small mesh like object looks really distracting when they're sharpened.

Mask it. And post the original size, that resolution will get you a verrry small image.

Looks good Marsh.

However these pics are not the greatest to do any sharpening with. They're too small, and they already have that jagged line in some spots which ALWAYS gets worse with sharpening.

An unsharp mask and some color levels may help the pictures a bit. Who knows...

Maybe I'll take a shot at it if I'm uber bored.

Here's my poor attempt:

Original:



My edit (I may have gone overboard with the burn tool, lol. Also a few subtle edits that you have to look twice to see.):

She's coming...slowly but surely. I've got 3 features done, just need to get my guys moving on the articles. We're all super busy and I'm extremely poor right now. Like I'm not talking not able to super size my Mcdeal, I'm talking like, I'll ride on empty for atleast half a week.

My life is currently on sale if you want any lenses for the camera or anything just let me know, I'll see what I want to get rid of.

You're first on my list of contacts for the lenses. And besides I feel no guilt, so that **** is useless.

Another valiant effort:

Orignal:



My version:

Really wanted to get the bike to pop out, but it was tough in this settign as the bike wasn't properly focused. I cropped out the bike and darkened up the BG quite a bit. Was thinking of using the burn tool, but really made no sense where the bike is positioned. Just did a quick 5 minute job, tough to edit these however to what I'm used to, no offense.

Anyways:
