Critique Welcomed Sunset In Gulfport, MS

Snagged this with the Olympus E-M5 mk II and Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 PRO at the harbor in Gulfport, MS when I went to pick up our new Airstream trailer from a dealer there.

Really nice shot, although it does look like an awful lot of noise reduction. Is this a jpg from the camera or ws that done in PP? Don't take this the wrong way. I think it's a beautiful shot. The colors are awesome.

I run the m43 stuff through DXO Optics Pro with the raw PRIME noise reduction. All of my stuff is processed and not SOOC. As I recall, the sky was very overcast and there wasn't really any detail or texture in the sky to begin with. I just went back and looked at the raw file - the sky is extremely flat and smooth looking. It was shot at base ISO (200), so there wasn't a whole lot of NR needed.

Nothing wrong with the image though and it has a lovely sky, but I had the micro 4/3 system for a while, the Olys, but dumped/sold them for the Fujis instead. Didn't quite like them in regard to noise on higher ISO etc..Can't quite match the aps-c format I feel. I hope I do not hurt anyone by saying that.

Very, very effective, Keith.
