David, I think reshooting is definitely worth it. This is a great image. Lucky for me, the Pentax actually includes more in the photo than I see in the viewfinder.
As for shooting RAW - I've learned to love it, but there's a definite learning curve. The camera's software no longer applies any color adjustments or sharpening for you, so you start with a clean image. It's the digital equivalent of developing your own film instead of letting the lab do it.
Boiled down, my workflow is:
1. Shoot RAW.
2. Make ballpark adjustments during conversion (exposure/white balance/contrast/saturation but not sharpening). You have a lot of freedom during conversion - you can convert to 8 bit or 16 depending on final output; you can choose multiple image sizes; you can choose from various color profiles.
3. Fine tune in PS CS using layers for levels and/or curves and saturation.
4. Do whatever you normally would; resize if needed and sharpen.
Like everything, this takes practice. But if you let the camera software decide, some image data is gone forever. You'd be amazed how much data the camera actually captures. I know I was. :)

Thanks for the comments I am just really annoyed that the CCD on the Nikon missed what was seen in the viewfinder and cropped the top beam I might just go back and reshoot it. Do you think its worth it ?
I love your macro work and see you seem to use RAW very often can you offer me any tips on getting started shooting in RAW. Thanks again.

Wow - the biggest erector set of them all!
Gorgeous color - terrific composition - and a really unusual view of a construction site. Outstanding!
