After I posted my PAWs from last week, one of my images (the one that most of us, including myself, thought to be the best of the set) was given the rare honour of being "moosterized" by Moose, a member of the Olympus list who has a penchant for suggesting improvements to others' pictures by posting a "before and after" version on his web site. This is the original image, as I posted it:

The result is here:
