The ISO was "only" 1600 which I find to be just about usable.
Peter,
Thanks for saying you think this is "artistic" it certainly was not intentional, although taking the "peek a boo" was. I have allready opened up the shadows on the left eye, but it looked a bit artificial if I did more.
nice one here Ken...I do think you might have opened the shadows up a notch too much as it looks a bit "grainy" on the dark side of his face , maybe just run some light selective noise reduction on that part?
