Did you use a texture or are they just a bit grainy/noisy?

The Mack,
I was using f4.0 on that lens which is wide open and then I did some sharpening.
Thanks,

Beautiful compositions, but the grain/noise is very noticeable. The noise looks like what I get when my ISO is set too high. Oversharpening or other post-processing steps could also be responsible. It would be instructive to look at the original images to see if the noise was introduced when the picture was taken or as a result of post-processing.

Thanks,
Roger

He's got some graying on his muzzle. He's got some years on him.

The basic noise problem here is caused by underexposure. It looks like the image was lightened in processing, which is why you've got noise in the dog's coat.

The exposure needed to be upped a bit to the point that the highlights of the scene were just about to blow out (which would have been easy, given the short dynamic range of this particular scene--there are no very bright tonal areas). That would give you enough exposure in the shadows of the dog's coat to avoid noise.

RDKirk,
You are right, it was underexposed! I did take it in RAW (good thing!!) and I should go back and try do the process again.
Thanks to all for you comments!!!
