    Lovely lighting here and nice action pose on the zebra foal. I would personally tone down or clone out the very light diagonal stalk in the lhs, but guess that is an individual choice.

    Steve,

    I have always wanted an image of this type but have never been able to get anything near to this, so to me this is really impressive:)

    Grass does not bother me too much, but it looks relatively easy to disguise it.

    BTW Sabyasachi did some tests om MK IV and found that there was more noise at the intermediate ISO's, unfortunately I cannot find the link, why not drop him a PM?

    Thanks for commenting everyone. Ken, thanks for the tip.

    I've only been out twice with bthe MKIV and had a look at shots taken at ISO 800 and ISO 640 respectively. I couldn't tell the difference so I've changed my settings already.

    I've mostly used a 40D, 50D and 7D (and I have about 30 MKIII files) so the noise performance of the MKIV simply blew me away! No nr was applied to this image at all and it remained noise free even after three rounds of sharpening. That is simply impossible with 7D files.
