One man’s heavily mottled is another’s wonderfully detailed. If I had noticed that it had gotten a bit grungy there, I could have eliminated that with a Layer Mask. As noted below, I started with a relatively tiny 150KB JPEG 🙂

But I have one comment and associated question – the rather heavily mottled bill in the after-shot seems to me to detract from the image and I fear that it’s unrealistic, so could you comment on that please?
Thanks
