Thanks for the comment. Correcting noise sounds like an easy technical fix but I'm not familiar with details. Any suggestions what to look for and how to correct?


You can download a trial version of neat image to reduce noise. This free version works for small files. (I don't really see much noise in your photo, which by the way, I really like. The colors look spectacular!)
