Nice to see this in the clear. In higher ISOs due to higher noise one will find less details as well. Cropping and under exposure exacerbates the problem. Great to see that you have had more than 1000 posts. When we take time to study and comment on the images as well as participate in various discussions, it also enriches us.

In one experiment by scientists, a class room was divided into three groups. One group was not allowed to play. The second group was allowed to play. And the third group was only allowed to visualise that they are playing but were not allowed to play. It was seen that, the first group who didn't play obviously didnt improve. The second group who played also obviously improved their skills. Amazingly, the third group who didn't play but only visualised themselves as playing, improved their skills and were close to the group who played. So it is important for us to look at the images, visualise ourselves in those places and critique.

Unfortunately, most of the people these days are not forthcoming about the crop, the processing that they did like cloning, selective sharpening, background noise reduction etc, robbing us of the ability to accurately visualise the situation. That would not help us in collectively learning. I don't want to police this forums. I don't want this to degenerate either.

Hmm.. I have digressed. Congratulations for the 1000 + posts. I am heavily into filming and when I get time, I am making an effort to look at the all the previous posts for the joy they bring in, as well as for helping me visualise the wildlife in various habitat. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
