Julie, which shot or shots do you see that on - the animals gallery, or the people, or the one attachment here? I am shooting with a 40D in all of the animal shots except for the "Time To Go" shot - that was actually one of the last rolls I ever shot in film, on my EOS-3 with ASA400 film. The only shots in the people gallery not using the 40D were the two identical images, one in color and one converted to B&W - that's my wife, BTW, and she needed a quick publicity shot done before I got the 40D - it's done with a Powershot A80.

I went through the 40D menu, and I don't have any of the noise reduction choices enabled except for long exposure, and I didn't use a noise program (although I have one, by Imagenomic). If you let me know which images, I can share what I did PP on them.

Thanks for responding - I'm still learning on this, I guess.
