I will look at the file again and repost another shot without editing with Photoscape.
Ok this is straight out of the camera, converted with CaptureNX2 and resized in paint.

MS PAINT! Definitely is cleaner regardless. Its probably a combination of over sharpening and something the program is doing.
Original was better.
Second version has less contrast, less sharpness (well thats related ofc), and less saturation (which is related to contrast aswell). Noise level is same, just cause theres less contrast, it doesnt seem visible. Personally, I dont care that much about noise as long is its non-intrusive and non-destructive. Which in this case is.
Do it as you did before, just ease up on sharpening by tiny bit..
Btw. D5000 is a bit noisy, its SNR values are not "100% clean" even at lowest ISO. It can be dealt with by applying some weak noise reduction, but I think its better to have more details and bit noise, than less details and no noise. Though, could be worth trying overexposing photos a bit (abour 1/3 eV - 1/2 eV) and then reducing exposure down in post-processing.
Thanks Mescalamba, I will keep that in mind when I go through my next batch of pics.
I do appreciate the feedback from everyone, anything that will help me get better is welcome, if you see something I could do better or just simply do wrong please feel free to let me know, I am 100% self taught and I pretty much twiddle with the shots before I put them up so I will take any help I can get.
I will paypal you. 10 spot if you make a video of you eating one.Quote:

Weevil's weevil shot made me laugh (No idea if those are weevil's ... but obviously that's the first thought that came to mind).

Yep, m4/3s do not like high ISO. :D Still good photo and nice processing (that reflection is photoshoped I guess?).
Yeah, a lot of photoshop on that one. The m4/3 image quality is excellent but ISO is a troublemaker (especially with no fast lenses).
Some fantastic shots in this thread guys!
