Thanks for the feedback John. Original image from RSE which can't seem to read the WB info correctly and definitely does add artifacts as well as FM sharpening. Replacement image converted using Olympus Master and sharpened with USM. Jpeg artifacts should not be as prominent now. Thank you, -- Bob K.

Bob, probably a good subject, but the image quality robs this one of most of its potential. Unfortunately, the detail is largely destroyed. JPEG compression artifacts are overpowering, but I'm guessing the shot just didn't have much detail to start with. If this is a 100% crop, then I'd suggest you avoid trying to do that as it always means lower image quality than if you resize to say 50% of the original crop, even if that means losing some detail.
