RAW Conversion Before and After Gallery

I started a thread on "POTN" -- the Canon users forum I'm active in, inviting people to post before and after images from their RAW processing and screenshots of their development settings, or at least detailed descriptions, and have specified NO PHOTOSHOP ALLOWED!

Note: In the thread intro I specified that three "categories" of shots are asked for: "fixes" where the exposure was missed in-camera, "enhancements" where the Raw file was "massaged" to bring out the best possible qualities that likely would have been lost with a jpeg, and "Help!" project where a user is looking for input as to how to do #1 and #2.

So, as you'll note in my gallery here, I post samples of both #1 and #2 (in fact I start out with a "fix" of a very over-exposed bird shot) and I bring those out in the forum thread gladly to celebrate the power of Raw processing! Check out our Raw Conversion Thread!

So, here is where I'm storing my contributions...

UPDATE! We have been running this thread for almost two years now, with hundreds of forum members contributing thousands of projects! Over half a million people have viewed this thread, so maybe this little gallery here on PBase has also been encouraging to some folks here!
