comment Does long exposure affect the sharpness of a picture, assuming no camera shake?
Though to note: the noise reduction applied would be different depending on shooting in raw/JPEG and the camera's capabilities.

comment How do I avoid so much noise in this HDR image?
There is one problem with your "HDR" shot and that is you have taken three images of a moving subject. HDR doesn't really work when you scene is changing, hence the ghosting of the competitors.

comment What features in Lightroom 4 make it worth upgrading?
I was particular impressed with the way the tonal controls under Basic (particularly shadows and highlights) work within the context of the image. No longer does it push your entire image around like with Fill Light. It's actually more like simplified Tone Curve controls.
