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 get this look when oversharpened even a small
amount.
It's a very cute composition and would be great if it weren't so
noisy/sharpened looking.

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 fringing, which can create the illusion of
oversharpening on small web images.

Yep - I see it the same way on all counts.

Seems oversharpened and noisy. Excellent composition.
