Hello Douglas,
Sorry for the late answer. The shot was taken near my home, a micro brwery
offering pub food as well. A nice family place. here is the site:

As for the software Neat Image: I've used it mainly in automatic mode after
it had built a profile (match factor 100%)
In those things, first make sure you master the auto mode before going in
depth, in my opinion.
I have discovered that NeatImage can unblurr a picture, did a few tests, it
is impressive. For the price, it is a great tool.
There is one great thing about the film less camera, you can actually choose
the type of support (tungsten, daylight, casted lights, etc). A bit like if
you change the magazines loaded with different types.
This is really a great improvement.
BTW, a off topic but leica: I was presented with the Panasonic DMC-LX1K, it
feels great, better than what it looks on the panasonic site.
Thanks for having considered this post.
