Thanks, Bruce! That "noise" is the result of attempting to salvage a barely decent image from a seriously murky, under exposure. I did offer it to PPG, but have no further plans for it. Did apply "clarity" and "contrast." Jack

Great capture! Shame about the softness from noise. I'd try bumping up the contrast, let the shadow tones darken up, and increase the Clarity some (assuming Lr). Or use the high-pass filter & Overlay layer trick to sharpen it up some.
