At 4' X 4' it is a small target.

You have done well Reggie, there is lots of good data there.

I would suggest you play around with different processing techniques and it will get even better.

I have found that too much saturation can cause 'texture' to appear.
Pay careful attention to the stretching (I do it in stages).

No experience imaging and processing the Spanish Dancer. But it looks good to me!!!
