This is a B&W JPG from straight from GRD III:
It's cropped about 50% to turn it from a full-body shot to a portrait, so from a JPG original the fine hair detail is not as sharp as I would like so it's one of those shots I wish I had shot RAW. But stll the JPG holds the dynamic range shadows under his chin for example quite well.

This is a colour JPG from the GRD III:
