 The inimitable James Morrison performing at a church conference in Adelaide. Lighting was amazing and the conference was superb.

He plays with power and pssion. Thought this would be good for the challenge, but I am not sure how it will go with the DNMC people out there.

Basically cropping levels and sharpening, some noise reduction and then more sharpening...border and resize, final USM

Hey hey... not a bad finish considering you were worried about DNMCs. I thought it a great take on the challenge and wondered how it would go. Gave it a 10 without batting an eyelid. The noise didn't particularly bother me. You captured a perfect James Morrison moment (or any great brass muso for that matter)- the screwed up face, sweaty brow and forehead thanks to lights and of course, effort.

Fantastic work! :)
Cheers
Rina.

A pass through NI would have really helped this, and it looks as though you may have added the border prior to doing any PP work.
