Thank you Roz! Yes, lately I've been using Topaz Denoise pretty regularly when I process high-ISO shots. It's great, but you have to be careful not to overdo it and avoid artifacts: play with different settings, use masking, etc.
Congratulations - this one made me laugh because I thought - I bet he looks forward to the change in seasons where stocking hats are switched for. Visors/baseball hats and scarfs for sunglasses. Besides sweeping and occasionally replenishing a low stock item he just sits and longs for a customer to come in.
Congrats on the ribbon. This was by far my favorite image in the challenge - the gentleman's expression somewhere between calm meditation and boredom is priceless.

awesome shot Lev .
i love how the man is almost lost in the busyness of his 'wares' ..
many congrats on a perfect shot for the challenge and the ribbon ..
also i'm interested in your camera settings .
and i'm surprised that there isnt more noise at 3200 iso on that camera ..
did you use any noise reduction in your editing . :)
Great shot. Fully embraced the challenge where the framing items enhances the image. He is a man at one with his environment. I might have cropped the top in just under the pom-poms so they are not cut in half to frame the top better
