Hey. I don't know if this is my imagination but it's better. Nice job removing a lot of the noise, I think, it could be an age thing.

I like this but I fear you have asked our G9 to do too much. With a very small sensor (versus our competitors) it cannot quite capture (without noise) the darker neck and hair with respect to the overall brightness in her hair. You can get one or the other but not both. When you shoot raw you get a little extension of dynamic range but it is the price we pay to fit our camera in our pocket. On rare occasions (unless you blend different exposures with bracketing mode) you can expose for the highlights and bring up the background if you were shooting at ISO 80. So I am saying wonderful composition but your camera is letting you down here.
