Arctic Fox Portrait

Cute little devils! This one is a noisy ISO 800 shot from Dublin Zoo last Saturday. I've just done some levels work to brighten it up.

I see a slight decrease in noise? What did you do and what were the settings? I'm still trying to get to grips with Noise Ninja plug-in.

download the noise ninja profile for your camera. then just load them for the iso you used.

I've cropped a little closer and repeated some of your steps. I think I've brough out the canine shape of the face a bit more:
