Home Grown Art

A practice session with DxO OpticsPro 11. As soon as I can, I will try some high ISO shots (5000+) with DxO. In the mean time, here is one of many 1600 ISO's I have never posted because of either objectionable noise level or plastic app[earance of noise reduced images. Tybee Island, Georgia has an abundance of artists who manage to go off in strange directions, wherever whimsy leads them. Not quite kitsch art, but definitely odd.

Thanks for looking Please feel free to comment/question or critique. Be sure to check the larger image, especially for noise detail.

That certainly qualifies as a strange direction. Image looks nice and clean at 1600. Good job on the processing.
