Sorry for forgetting to add the subject prior to sending. Paul, I like the idea of completing the wing (although cheating a bit) for a nicer composition. Yes, I believe I did have my settings on a half stop under and the noise is pretty much visible only on the full size image. I process my RAW files with Bibblelite, but hate to use the noise reduction for fear of losing detail. But I guess I could play with the lesser settings on it. Thanks for the comments.
