Still don't see the noise. And I even put my glasses on:-). I do see a texture on the nose that is obviously part of the animal and has a grainy appearance. Anyway, we'll have to disagree on this one. Sorry, Godfrey:-)). On Apr 11, 2006, at 1:19 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: I'm sorry, Paul,

Even with the branches in the way, it is still a wonderful shot! I'd almost think that if those branches weren't there, it would look more like a studio setup shot. Nice work! -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, April 10, 2006, 1:58:56 PM, you wrote: KW Check out KW

I think that what some are seeing as noise is merely the texture of the tree and the animal's fur. Look at the raccoon's nose and the sky. If there was a lot of noise in the pic it would show up there as well. There's no halo effect that would suggest oversharpening. There is some digital

I'm sorry, Paul, but I have to disagree. There is underexposure noise in the shadows, on the nose and even in the eyes. Overall the entire image has a look of brittle edginess that is typical of over- aggressive USM sharpening. It's a high-frequency image with all the fur ... which often
