A pair of ducks, CC welcome!

Thanks for looking!

The photo is quite noisy, seems overcontrasted and oversharpened, you might have taken your pp work a bit too far here.

first things first, Thank you for your CC, I have resolved the noise issue in my pictures. After going through the settings in my camera I found that my iso was set at 1250. As far as PP, all I did was sharpen the image, which is now obvious to me that I over sharpened quite a bit. All this being said, this one picture has taught me a lot, as far as working with the camera and what have you. Again thanks for the CC!

Seems like you already know what you need to fix. So fix it, and post another one!

Definately that ISO was way to high, id leave it set at 100-400.

well after some CC on another post I was asked what my iso was set at, and lo and behold thats exactly what it was. I have it set at 250 now and i'm waiting for a nice clear day to get back out there.
