Here's a before and after of a RAW image I downloaded from an online contest. I won't be entering my edit because you have to sign up for a course. Anyway, as many of you know, I always advocate shooting in RAW. Hopefully I did a good enough job that some of you jpg-only shooters might consider RAW. The "before" image is a screenshot of the raw image before any editing.

We were staying in Pigeon Forge Tn. and decided to go to Cades Cove. On the way over there we passed through Townsend and I took this photo. This is a good example of how they came up with the name Smoky Mountains because of the fog.

I took this of a dance recital at the Biloxi Coast Coliseum at a distance of about 200ft with my D600 Nikon 70-200VR F2.8 lens using a SB900 flash. Believe it or not the flash was very effective at this distance.
