Nice shot Robert. It might pay to just reduce that noise in the background a bit but it doesn't detract from his alert pose at all.

Great shot Robert,

I agree about the noise, but fantastic pose. The OOF foreground works well.

Nicely done Robert..................agree a touch of work on the noise would round it off nicely!

Thanks for the comments and advice folks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do anything about the 'noise'. I have tended to use the principle of higher iso films and just accept grain/noise as being part of the trade off for higher speed.
