Traveller, I whole-heartedly agree with Gayle. Bump the iso. While I did apply a touch of Noise Ninja right after the raw conversion (as is my normal practice with high iso shots), the original raw image is fairly clean and could easily have been used without noise reduction. -Michael

Michael: I really like the sense of movement that your 1/4 second shot created, and, you really popped the iso to get the f16...is this a little noisy at full size? Gayle told me to shot at a higher iso to get the right exposure above all else.

My Red Exit tonight at 400iso is quite noisy at full size...but then I applied heavey curves and several color Balance adjustments. I'm wondering if that is what caused the noise, or, would I have been better to boost the iso as you have. Best Wishes, Traveller
