Not to keen on the background to noisy what do you all think?

The noise in the background doesn't bother me in the slightest, but it does look like there has been too much noise reduction applied which has caused a loss of fine detail. I'd go for a little extra noise and a sharper subject anyday

Think they look great Kevin, possibly in the first image, the focus on the twig/branch in forground on right hand side draws the eye, perhaps a tighter crop? But no expert Kev! What lens were these taken with?

Last one shows the best colour rendition ... background is fine, natural surroundings.

 

[the black fox]

do you mean digital noise kevin or are you referring to the twigs etc bokah .personally i would have have been running round screaming like a banshee if i had got any of them .well done

 

[cruso]

taken with a canon 500f4 i mean all the twigs and reeds jeff

 

[den]

All fine shots Kev but two and three for me.

 

[deno]

They all look good to me but prefer the colour, detail & composition in the last two.

 

[fergie]

All great, natural shots. The second would be my pick of the three with the colours and composition.

 

[Rustydon]

All fine shots Kevin - I too have no problem either with noise or the natural bg! Number 3 just edges it for me with the catch of the day.

thanks to all for the nice coments

 

[mex]

A mighty fine trio, but if I had to choose one, then it would have to be #3 for me. The BG looks OK,it certainly did not distract me from the KF.Nice one.

I prefer the last two first is a bit messy in the background for me, and great to see one with the fish to
