Very nice for 3200.
I don't see the noise at all.
The photo looks alive and vibrant to me.
Well done.

Hi Jamie,
you handled the noise issues at ISO 3200 quite well, for me there is no noise visible.Myself i find more difficult to get rid of luminance noise.
Different options for getting rid of color noise.Neat IMage, ACR,Noiseware PRO and inside Photoshop different blur filters applied to a RGB layer set to color mode .
The image is nice with the head turn facing you, is the bear wanting to turn that stone ?
Processing looks very good in all important terms Jamie.Better than the last one, for me.

Hi Jamie - at this size the noise isn't apparent so sorry, can't help you there. I prefer the color of this one to the last. I like the pose with the bear looking up at you. Nicely done and I think the new gear is paying off.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Jamie,
Pretty much agree with all the above - especially that you have done well in overcoming the issues of such high ISO. My first take on the shot was pretty much with Steve - some more room for the bear, particularly on the left side and a little above, too.
Well done!

Thanks folks, I am just on the train to work so thought I'd pop by to comment.
I pondered the crop for a while because I dont have any more room to the right but I do have space on the left, above and a little below. They need to invent boats that don't rock LOL.
As for the noise, I can still see faint traces but I guess that's because I know it was there. There was colour noise in the fur and traces of CA, so what I did was run lens and colour correction in ACR and then ran a 6, 60% NR as a layer and removed some of the colour noise on the fur. Very little to no NR was applied to the rest of the image which makes me all that more impressed with the 1D4 performance.
if I was to go and extend the canvas area, is there a good practice to save having to rework whole image from the smart object?
Thanks again everyone
Jamie

Best black bear IQ I've seen from you in a long time...and that at ISO-3200! The black fur looks great. You must be stoked


Keep them coming!
Very stoked and now all I have to do is find some more like this amongst my files. I set the bar high for myself maybe too early. Cheers Morkel.

Maybe we can we can schedule a week and head to Tofino some time in the future and then head up the coast for Grizz. But for Feb we will have SEO galore. I have a sweet location.

All critique has been covered, just want to say that I love the bear's expression. Very nice.
