Well, I did the B&W render, and just to make Ann and Cotty happy,
(though why anyone would want to make Cotty happy is beyond me), I tried
a new crop. I was able to do most of the work in DxO Mark with just a
couple of steps in Photoshop. If they had a text tool...

Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/Sigma DC 17-70mm f2.8~4.5
Processing Notes: Rendered in B&W using DxO Mark Optics Pro 9.0 and DxO
Filmpack 3.0 to emulate Ilford Pan F Plus 50™ Medium format.
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
However I have a small rant about DxO Mark Optics Pro 9.0. It really
does try to nanny you.
I have check for new profiles enabled by default. That way if I have a
lens that they have a profile for, I'm reminded to download it.
So, every time I open a directory or project with an image using a lens
it doesn't recognize, it makes a guess, and since it doesn't have
profiles for the Pentax M 85 f2.0, Pentax A 28mm f2.8, both lenses I
use quite a bit, and now the Sigma 17-70 f2.8~4.5, it's inventively
wrong. So I don't download the suggested module. It then tags the
image with a red exclamation point, to let me know I'm just being
stubborn and DxO knows best.
It only gives me two choices, turn the feature off entirely, which I
don't want, since of course I'll forget to check if they actually do add
a module for a lens I have, or let it nag me, every time I start it up
or change to a directory with an unknown lens in it.
There is no option to tell the software it's wrong.
It's just annoying.

I cropped it a bit from the left to make the composition a little
less centered. Not sure I'd like it but I've toyed with the B&W.
It's still dreary and gray here, so I'll probably revisit that, I've
got a lot of time today.

That would be cracking in black and white.
Needs cropping to eliminate dead area at left.
