G'Mornin' Howad!

Nice shot!  The 800e is most impressive when viewed large, being a 1/2 frame 
crop!  But, when large, I see what looks like "noise".  Were you shooting  at a 
high ISO?  If so, running the shot through Noise Ninja, or (my fav) Neat Image, 
might help.

Otherwise, a very nice capture!

David.

Hi David,
Thanks for looking and commenting. The shot was taken at ISO 6400 and no noise 
reduction was applied - either in camera or with photoshop.
I agree that the noise could be reduced but I wanted to see what the camera 
would do and seeing it, I kinda liked the graininess of it.
I don't think the D800E has the noiseless reproduction of a D700 - evidence the 
photo - but then it is 3 X the pixels. I will now run the photo through CS 
noise reduction
and see what comes out.
Bests to Rose.
Cheers
Howard------
