I already know about the coloured rivets. Any suggestions on how to deal with that?

But please also look at the full size image by clicking on the link and then clicking on the image. In my opinion, it shows why the Pentax kit lens is the best kit lens out there.

Nice aeroplane. I didn't know there was a tailwheel variant of the Yak 52.

Sorry if I'm being unobservant, what's the issue with the rivets?

Easy
* In Photoshop Elements (etc) add a new blank layer.
* Change the layer's blend mode to "Color"
* Pick a small brush
* Alt-click on a good colour near the river
* Brush over the rivet and it'll change color

(You could do this without a layer by changing the blend mode of the paintbrush, but personally I like being able to toggle the layer on and off to check whether I've made any mistakes. It's easy to undo then )

Quite why it happens in the first place I'm not sure... would be interesting to see the original RAW file.
HTH!
