Would that,

be print worthy even with that kind of noise in background?

(actual 100% crop of a print sized 300DPI file)

Nothing work in Neatimage, I can both leave it that way or dump it!

Thanks in advance for advice

On my monitor, I have difficulty seeing the noise you are talking about. I think the shot is lovely. As a print, it will probably print just fine if it's not blown up extremely large. Then again, I'm not a professional, so what do I know. ;o)

Oooh, oooh, ouch. Lovely shot, very crisp, nice light, but looking at the close up, the pixelization really hurts. I'd try for a reshoot. Maybe while you're at it, try a less central composition using the rule of thirds, and improve it in more than one way?

You might try this technique for reducing the color in the grain.

Create a duplicate layer in PS, apply Gaussian Blur, get it pretty blurry (you may have to experiment with the radius but try 4 or 5 to start), set the blend mode to color, then adjust the opacity until the effect is strong enough without creating halos.

Thanks for the advice. I may reshoot it but not before i'm sure I did all i could with that one. By the way, Calla lilly is truly amazing. Congratulation!!

Really thanks for the trick. I'm gonna keep it in my mind with other problematic images. Now the noise in my photo look much like film grain wich for me is really great. By the way, "The far three" just made it to my favorites. It's really... ... ... lacking for a stronger word because english is not my home language i'd say... amazing how the composition in this shot is hot. I think it's really fun to use the forum requesting for answer and giving comment back to people who care to answer you. Thanks again.

Nicolas, I think its a great shot, i've been shooting flowers for a couple of weeks now (1.4gb to be exact!).

Its a 'good' shot but looking at your portfolio I wouldn't rank it amongst your best (that is certainly a compliment). I have been struggling with getting a flower pick good enough to print and decided to try black bacgkgrounds to remove any 'clutter'

I think the below is a great Rose and may submit it as a print myself (well I'll buy it)

btw, you need to change the links in your signature, they point to the viewers portfolio/prints (I thought you'd been copying me :)
