I finished processing this one today. I had used an 85B filter on front of the lens, then custom white balanced using an ExpoDisc. In SPP I turned sharpening all the way down, and had Detail set to one dot below Crispy, and had all noise suppression turned to minimum. In photoshop elements I downsized using bilinear, with careful sharpening and not too much, and played with the color balance some more. Then I bumped the contrast just a little. I was trying for better browns and tans with darker skies. Maybe almost... I remember the yellows being more intense that day but I don't see it here.

19 mb download for 4760x3164 (15mp) image.

You can easily see that this image is not from a Foveon sensor; the dynamic range in this image is greater than Foveon, so you can argue that this image is therefore 'better'.
