The main context for this particular entry would be utterly opaque to the viewer: it is the first image processed on my brand new workstation, the first computer upgrade of any signficance for me in at least seven years (!?!).
Several caveats apply: no monitor calibration has been done (and this image was produced on an ancient monitor I don't normally use); no post-processing plug-ins have yet to be installed (upon which I heavily rely for sharpening, for example) . . . and I'm exceedingly tired.
However, the verdict is emphatically in: working on a modern processor with huge RAM, a 64- bit OS with 64-bit apps, a good video card and up-to-date applications (CS5, long long long overdue) has utterly transformed my experience for the magnificently better, as evidenced by this maiden voyage effort . . . (no more waiting for up to two minutes for screen refreshing, among other sheer joys).
Better submissions are to come in terms of image quality, but producing this was was an incredibly refreshing and optimism-infusing experience!
