I Don't think the noise is as bad when in full size, the jpeg compression accentuates it. I shot it in camera RAW, the other one has bad noise because I shot it in jpeg in low light, this one is a LONG exposure on camera RAW, but I think I will check out neatimage, do i have to buy the plug in? or does the free version last forever/or expire?
This is a wonderful captuer Sam, great moment and nice details and colors in spite of the difficlut lighting condition. Creative composition for sure. The only thing here is the noise once again, give neatimage.com a try and i am sure you will like the result, very well done, Regards,
