This image was taken on a whim. Handheld macro with AS on A1. Hand shake resulted in a soft image. Image was taken as a RAW file and subsequently converted with DCRAW and light levels balanced with FilmGimp/CinePaint.

The results are better than achieved using a straightforward Minolta Image Viewer -> JPEG/TIFF conversion.

No noise post-processing was done.

I particular like the resulting brightness of the image resulting from RAW processing. Other attempts with 8bit processing resulted in severely blown highlights and lost detail

Planning on retaking the image with tripod to remove shake/blur. #145399
