Pine Marten 2 - I think i'll take the car
Another image from the recent evening in Ardnamurchan. Based on the comments from the last image i have dropped the yellow luminecence slider.

I am stuned how well the 7d dealt with the ISO, i have not done any noise reduction on theis image or sharpening so far

I did not include the feet due buscuits and rasins but am not sure if it needs to be croped tighter. Your comments are very welcome, also any veiws on by newish website would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ian

Try hiding the nuts under the gravel ;) or under some leaves. Looks darn good to me. wish it were mine. I find with the 7D if you are close enough to get detail then your shots will look OK at higher ISO but try cropping :mad:

Hi Ian,

There is certainly more detail to be brought out in the face by increasing the light in the shadows, of course that may also bring out unwanted detail in the tyre as well, but you can't have everything!

Thanks, I have increase light in the shadows but it really showed the noise so added NR as well. Any better?

Also amaising reflection in the eye, not sure if i should leave it or not

Iwould try a tighter crop. Otherwise looks ok to me. The bright area in the back is a shame but can't be helped.
Amazing at that ISO

I would love to see one of these! Nice pose, though perhaps a slightly tighter crop as you say? Fantastic result at that ISO!
