This is my first submission for a member challenge, and also the first submission with my new Olympus C-4000Z camera! :-) I used full manual aperture/shutter settings here, I think I should practise focusing a bit more.
PhotoShop: crop, selective colour adjustment: (black/black +40%, white/black +10%, white/magenta -85%), dust and scratches (radius 1) to remove powder dust remained on the blacks.
NeatImage: sharpen (20%), noise reduction (5%).
