It's a nice image. Especially being able to get a cat to just sit still & look at the camera.

But, there's a lot of noise. Looks like some of the under-exposed images from when I first got my *ist-D & tried to rescue them by pushing the exposure slider in Photoshop. It seems to leach the color out - to many noise pixels & not enough cat pixels.

I don't know if there's a noise reduction tool in Elements 5 that would help, but I think I'd reserve the high ISO for situations where it was absolutely demanded.

I'm guessing the high ISO is to get a reasonable combination of aperture & shutter speed. Might be able to do a manual "dark slide" to help with noise reduction in those cases.

Ashley turned 8 years today.  Took this with the K-5 at ISO 25600 - I'm
just getting such a kick out of being able to do it.
