Jim N, Gerry,

Thanks for looking.

Gerry, they are all RAW files converted in Lightroom CC, and subsequently
processed in Silver Efex Pro within Photoshop CC. The latest iteration of
Nikon's 85mm f1.8 lens, the "G" version, is, IMHO, the best bang for the
buck lens available in the market today. It is unbeatable value at under
$500....

Cheers
Jayanand
