I still am amazed at the amount of detail that is in a RAW image. If you click on the above image it will take you to the "before and after" of this image, which was taken in Brasher Park, Port Richey, FL, in December of 2008; I went back and worked on it today (Lightroom, Photoshop CS5) and the contrast is amazing.

The process of transformation is bliss.

You would not be aware (unless, perhaps a local) that the image on the horizon is not a boat but a stilt house that is build in the Gulf of Mexico. I wish it was more clear in this photograph, but the detail is just not available.

Enjoy,
