I really thought the high ISO would kill this image, but I'm satisfied. Any suggestions for improvement would be great. I didn't do any noise reduction, and although I'm sure it's there I can't see it on my monitor without peeping.

I'm losing it  I adjusted my second post above to reflect the change. I didn't apply the sharpening though as I'm happy with the unsharpened image. Yours still looks a tad blue to me (look at the white fur), but much improved. I used the clidk WB in lightroom on my version on the white fur. Steve

Croasdail making stuff up  More info | Sep 23, 2008 21:12 | #12 I would go tighter... background doesn't add that much. I would take some off the top and go to a traditional 8x10 form factor. The upper area isn't adding anything.
