The first one is a good action shot as you have a good facial expression but the image is a bit noisy. Were you at a high ISO or was the image tightly cropped from a larger one?

Actually, both. I'll try running it through Neat Image to see what happens. Thanks for the comments.

I say dont worry about the noise. Something soon forgotten on the boards is the clients dont look for noise, they see an EPIC shot (which it is). Also when you print it the noise will hardly show up.

I remember I took some ISO 1600-3200 shots of a band in a poorly lit club. I got them printed to 16x20's and they turned out amazing. The band loved them and never even mentioned "grain".

Either way, great job. You have some great timing!

Nice captures but they look a bit oversaturated on my monitor, ie colors are a bit harsh.

Thanks Joe. Nice to hear from another Maine-ah :). What part of coastal Maine are you in?
