For someone not already tied to a RAW converter, that has need to be concerned about noise reduction, they need to also consider DxO Photolab. IME DxO has the best NR program when applied in RAW conversion. I still have Topaz AI to work with iPhone images, but for RAW images, DxO and Topaz are pretty close to the same, which is excellent. I slightly prefer Topaz AI's sharpening tool as it's very intuitive to work with and very effective. Here's an image taken at ISO 32000, with RAW conversion in DxO PhotoLab:

I think that the heads, ready for mounting do seem as if they're crooning lustily, but they're lost in all the other stuff. Without the title, I wouldn't get it as is. Clearing the chairs away, and/or getting in tighter on the heads would really step this up for me. I "get it" as is, but not without the title.

I totally agree with Edwin's reaction and critical comments. I wish that there were more emphasis on the "singers."
