I need some help with this picture. I really like it, but to me, it looks a little fuzzy, or blurry or something. Is there anything I can do about that? I know it needs some editing done to help that, but I don't know what to do to get rid of the fuzziness. If any of you know what I can do to help that, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your help. And if you see anything else that needs help, please feel free to say so!! I welcome all help, comments and advice. Thanks everyone!

A really nice shot, love the light and colour.
I'd say your 'fuzziness' is digital noise caused by the high ISO of 1600. Try running it through a noise reduction program. There may be something on Photoshop depending on the version you have (if at all). Otherwise get google to find something - Noise Ninja or something like that. There are plenty of decent free downloads.

Thank you for your help!! No, I don't have Photoshop, but I will google a noise reduction program. Thanks so much!

I was wondering, instead of having to download a program to my computer to use Noise Reduction, is there a free website where I can do that? Does anyone know of an online photo-editing website where you can use Noise reduction? Thanks

Here is what I did with it. This was my first time so its not that great I think that it needs to be sharpened a little more

What do you think?

I don't think you can sharpen it much more. looks like motion blurr. did you use a tripod? I like your idea though

[ang1995]

Are you talking to me? I did not take the picture I was just trying to clear it up a little for TNH

It looks a lot better to me. What did you do to it to fix it? It really is a lot clearer than mine.

I used a noise reduction in Adobe Bridge and sharpened it a little and I put the blacks up a little. I think that is all I did.

3bayjunkie, if you're talking to me, no I don't have a tripod. I know I need to get one, though.
I don't know if the fuzziness is from motion blur or high ISO. Probably both.
