Re: PESO Mr. Downey
That's a stunning image, Paul! I like the crispness of the front part of the image, and I do not notice any "practical" noise there. But what nudged me to respond here is some thoughts about the background. The noise on the green in the background distracts a bit. I was wondering if some sort of mask (on the background, maybe chosen with the magic wand in PS) +smoothing/denoising, or what I would call "soaping it" (to have less detail), or even "defocusing" it would produce a better background. I've had some photos where I was considering and trying some similar treatment of the background, - with a different level of success.

Re: PESO Mr. Downey
Great image. The noise is so minimal it would need a real nit picker to comment. Actually less noise than the K7 at ISO 800!

Yep, forward focused apparently. Missed that, but I can claim bleary vision due to lack of sleep. But that's another story. Thanks for looking.

His head appears very soft to me. Appears to be a heavy crop or high ISO by the look of the background. Not that this would matter if the head was sharp.

You're right. You have good eyes. I can't see that on the web image, but I blew up the hi-res version, and that is clearly the case. This one won't make the cut. But he is a good looking critter:-).
