Subject: [Leica] IMG: Learning from Bokeh and Histogram Discussions

I have taken to heart the discussions or bokeh and positioning of the 
exposure histogram that have appeared on the LUG this past week, and decided 
to see if I could improve on a RAW image that I had post-processed and 
posted recently. While I could not go back and re-expose the image that 
included a wide range of shadow and highlight, I found that I could make 
improvements in the way I handled the RAW image. The original and reworked 
images are linked below.

I like the bokeh of the  Takumar 50/1.4

Comments and critiques welcomed.
