Subject: [Leica] IMG: Noise Reduction at ISO 1600

I have had several comments about reducing noise in my Cardinal image at ISO 
1600.  I currently use Neat Image when I feel a need to do that, and have 
found that small ajustments are best.  I have made and posted an adjusted 
image, which is slightly smoother, without looking artificial.  Others may 
have differing opinions.  I am still using Windows XP, so the latest and 
greatest software is not an option at this time.

Original image, as posted:

Same image with a minimum amount of noise reduction:

Any comments?
