First for me shooting snowy owls and what a thrill. I got so excited i almost blew it on some of the shots. Not as good as some i've seen on here but these are all natural (no bating). All C&C welcome and appreciated.

First off, great shots. #2 is a winner for sure.

Now, are you sharpening your photos at all? That'll crank the noise up, or more accurately make it more visible.

If not, are you doing any kind of clarity (LR thing) adjustments? That'll do it too.

Yes a very small amount of sharpening in CS3 after resizing for web.
