I can touch it up easily if I want to in photoshop, you cant make a lower resolution shot higher in photoshop though, big difference. If I want to print I have no problem at all making up to 11x17 prints with NO visible dust! Actually dust is something you have to deal with on all film formats (not good) but the larger the format the less of a problem it becomes because it doesn't get magnified nearly as much in a print as it does with 35mm for example.

Not only are there a lot of dust specks (particularly visible in the sky, but you can find them in most parts of the image), there are some very odd looking areas of sky near the mast and along the top edge.
