One thing to keep in mind when shooting RAW is more of the processing decisions are left up to you. The camera no longer makes any of the saturation, sharpening, contrast, etc.. decisions. You will likely have to do this either at the time of conversion, or in post afterwards.
These look like they could use a bump in contrast and USM. |

Thank you very much for the comment I will try that. One question
though what is USM??
Yeah that boat is stranded on that sandbar but only after being abandoned by the person that lived in it. It had crashed against a local restaurant and the owner tried to push it out the inlet but it turned back arround and got stuck on that sandbar.
edit for second comment

| To learn more on how to use RAW files and process them I highly recommend Real World Camera RAW with Adobe Photoshop CS or CS2 for those that have CS2 instead of CS. |

USM = UnSharpMask It is a common method of sharpening. Another popular one is high pass sharpen.
You should be able to find a lot of tutorials/information on these, both in the forums here at DPC as well as on the web.
