Thanks for the feedback Ken. I don't need it for the show. I'm only hanging six prints, and I have dozens. But I'll probably print it to see how it looks. It might prove interesting in that it's more a shot of the nature center than of a bird. The grain/noise doesn't bother me. It's interesting how we've all become so sensitized to a grainy look with digital. With film, we accepted it for the most part and sometimes championed it.
