[QUOTE="DrEntropy, post: 379545, member: 34172"] The lower left picture of that cat is quite nice. I am not seeing grain issues. The composition could be improved a bit, consider the rule of thirds. This may not apply to you, but I found myself doing a lot of pixel peeping when i first started (only a few months ago, so still a noob!) and being hypersensitive to noise. One thing you can do is to find a scene, then take pictures at the same EV but different ISO. Cover everything the camera can do. Then go take a look at them, post process them and learn what ISO does. Pixel peep to your hearts content, but also zoom out to 'normal view' and compare. It helped me quite a bit to get over noise phobia :) [/QUOTE]
