It find it interesting that you chose ISO 1600. It must have been a very cloudy day in Washington. Anyway, either your camera handles noise extremely well or your processing is outstanding. In any cae, this is a magnificent capture. #4049090

Ron, Paul, Anna, SuSana, Evy, MH, Harmeet, Richard (I chose ISO 1600 because it was a dark and cloudy afternoon, getting late in the day and I had a 2x TC attached to the lens [which means I loose 2 stops of light]), Dominick, Raymond, Rakesh, Renee, Ronald, Agnes, John, Joy, Anne, Chastity, Datha, Debby, Marta and Brian, thanks very much for all of your kind and encouraging comments. #4050621

Janine, I haven't checked out your site in a while and had forgotten how I love to peruse your gallery. Your birds are SO wonderful... I try so hard to capture the birds outside in my yard, but yours are so much more awesome!!!! I love the level of sharpness in them and also amazed at the clarity for ISO of 1600!!! Keep setting the standard... I'll keep reaching for it! #4051973
