hey man i feel for you. I went and bought my first digital camera 3 years ago it was the SONY DSC F717 I thought it was the best camera in the world as I was compairing it only against other shitty cameras then I began to learn more about it and found that it sucked at ISO 100+ so when the DSC f828 Came out I jumped on it .. that only realy helped alittle I can go to ISO 200 without too much trouble . .
After reading through my 18 diffrent subscriptions to various photography magazines for 3 years I quickly learned that the only way to go is SLR's
CANON is on top of the ball with it's new Canon EOS 1DS Mark II it's grain dosn't show up until ISO 800 and still because of the Resolution you can scale the images and nearly eliminate it. plus paint shop pro 9.0 does an awesome job at removing the noise.

buy a mark II either the EOS 1DS or the EOS 1D or you could go all the way and buy a phase one 22mp back and hasselblad but you wont get the same shooting flexability as the canon.

Personaly im going to try and hold out for the next model canon has to offer if it isn't too long from now.

keep in touch dude

great image but it has some problems with color cast. . if you look closely the fur is tinted green most likely this is due to what is called contamination lighting from a background that is too hot. you can fix this in camera by makeing sure your subject is surounded by neutral tone or opposing tone refelctors in this case because of the strong green a magenta relector could have helped. else its not a hard fix in photoshop
just go to color balance and move cyan to red and blue to yellow just a tad not too much then your primary adjustment should be from green to magents and work from midtones to shadows then touch up with highlights just lightly
here is a copy of your image that i adjusted for you all copywrites are to their repected owners

i noticed after posting it to the web that it apears just a tad too sharp and i think that may have been to the way i saved it .. but if I had done it properly it would have apeared about 1 - 2 stops darker

wonderful capture composition everything except that the thing with digital cameras it they seem to make everything too bland and not enough contrast between light and dark and thats just not how we see the animal

here is my edited version of your picture All copyright rights are still yours. I just wanted to show you the wonders of two tools in photoshop
LEVELS and COLOR BALANCE



ALL I DID WAS moved the levels from left to right alittle and from the right to left then adjusted the midtones to be a tad bit brighter .. i dont know what you were going for as far as mood but if you use the middle bar in levels that will allow you greater creative control

then i got rid of some color casting from the foggy dim light and tinted it more to the warm tones cyan to red blue to yellow and green to magenta slightly
then i saved for web and wrote this email total elapsed time 5 mins
