Debi when I was shooting with my G2 I used Neat Image for noisy shots & it worked very well. I was hopeless at doing it myself but on the Neat Image site you can download profiles that others have made for lots of different cameras & different Iso. Have a look there for profiles made for the S3, make sure you get all the different Iso profiles & you just put them in a Neat Image folder. When you have your picy loaded you just pick the right Iso you shot at & Neat Image cleans it up without much loss in sharpness.

thanks for all the feedback. I knew noise was an issue but I hate the noise removal software ( i have a demo version of neat image). It never works the way I want it. Tried black and white looked so drab again. The light in my house is really low, which is a blessing in the heat but not very good for photography. Putting up a black & white one in pending for your comments but now the crop is not right. Debi

Great composition. You obviously thought out the framing, and it works well. About that noise though...

Good idea Debi - I just shot an image today with partitions but not as interesting as this. Do you have noise reduction software? You can download a free version of Noise Ninja which you can use on web images under 1000 pixels on a side. This would look interesting in B&W too I think. CJ

Another very topical entry, Debi. The partially filled enclosers within the container of the frame and the darkened recesses of the space give the image a claustrophobic feeling. Like much art, it's effectively depressing. Very effectively done. -tv

I'm not sure about the noise here Debi, have you tried this in B&W & add some more noise? Good idea though.Well done.
