Hey Guys, I tried to look at them myself and they were HUGE! but I guess there is a trick to Downloading. As for the noise, it might be due to having converted the RAW image to JPG, then downsizing the files to loose data. Just guessing. The original of the two geese landing is crystal clear against the background. Again appreciate the kind words, I'll download a few more soon. I have probably 50 equally interesting birds in flight. Here is one I particularily like.
