A lot of you pointed out that Doc Watson wasn't sharp in my last
week submission to the gallery. After ruling out camera motion,
subject motion and examining the original scanned file which shows
some grain on extreme enlargement I have come to the conclusion that
the UV filter on the lens was dirty enough to degrade the image
sharpness. Kodak showed this degradation effect of a dirty lens
verses a clean lens in a darkroom book many years ago.

Jack up the contrast. It will make the "dirt" less visible. Same with fog.
