Geoff,

The photo was made as part of a brief evaluation of my ability to manually 
focus a legacy lens without benefit of a "chipped" lens adapter.  The ISO 
was 800 and the shutter speed was 1/30.  The light source was a single 
incandescent fixture in an entry hallway.  While the capture was in RAW, so 
I could improve it somewhat, I made no concious effort to make it 
technically perfect. It served its purpose, and I filed it away.  Hell, the 
noise, which I can't see, probably improved my appearance.  Let it go.
