That's why I shoot everything, even simple 2"x2" passport shots, in RAW mode. I think it is obvious that an image that good deserves a lot better processing than is even remotely possible if one starts with a JPEG out of the camera.
An interesting story, Floyd! You are lucky to have a good model.
Nevertheless, if the image content is of sufficient interest, even one taken on a phone may be good enough....
What came out of the camera just had potential, and only because I had the RAW data from a Nikon D800. To realize the potential required significant post processing to make it more than good enough, and instead extend towards the best it could be. What it was out of the camera is only potential, and the "real thing" is on paper at 24"x36".
The BW version is currently on public display. I can't imagine displaying a print that large taken on a cell phone...
