Hi Guys,

Cheers.

The righthand one loos the best to me although softer around the Eagles head looks a little more natural...? Buuuut then again...? see I haven't even been staring at these images for as long as I am sure you have and I am confused too! :-)

Do you use noise reduction in your images Eric? If you do, which one?

cheers Mike. I use neatimage + photoshop cs2 noise reduction. If you can advise me on anything mike please feel free as I will enjoy learning anything from the master.

Both look fantastic Eric, with the left one slighty sharper in the middle like you said.

Ok, go easy on the NEAT, it can ruin an image IMO.

Use noise reduction very sparingly as it often gives an image a horrible fake look....IMHO or course :-)

You are a bloody imaging machine though, where are you taking all these piccies from BTW?

I agree Mike, I use to use NEAT image a LOT, now I can't remember the last time I used it.

I also do the same Eric...I sometimes over do the noise reduction but like I said it's personal to what looks good....I seem to prefer the soft look then more detail and grainy image......as I get better at what I do I will probably tend to go for higher detail then grainy image.

You should be very happy with your results so far anyway.
