Comment Is it worth increasing the exposure a bit? This strikes me as slightly dark. Very useful image, however. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:21, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Woodrich, does this better? J e e 10:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not that bright. More like +0.40. See the new edit uploaded over your edit. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tried again; but not better than your version. So adding it as "alt". :) J e e 13:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, file size of the alternate edit is almost 1/3 the original, a redo perhaps? Bammesk (talk) 14:33, 20 August 2016 (UTC) Bammesk (talk) 14:45, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommend just doing it from the RAW. Are you using Lightroom? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:31, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have only RawTherapee. PM you the raw file. J e e 02:56, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Unfortunately, the subject is cut off, which spoils the photo for me. --Janke | Talk 15:41, 21 August 2016 (UTC) - - Edit: Apparently, there is an uncropped version available... Edit 2: Which needs some cropping for balance...[reply]
