but if you are referring to all the noise discussions, that's not the kind of shot where it matters. Indoors, no flash is where it will matter, particularly when your subject is out of the range of a flash.

If you mean compostiton, well for me I find the thing on the left side of the photo the only really interesting thing in the photo and wouldn't mind seeing more of it. It could maybe use a little bit of sharpening in PP but, as for colors and for coming straight out of the camera it looks fine to me.

It's hard to tell what the photo is about here. The color doesn't add anything IMO, and the needles on the ground are oof, so you (or I) don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. It doesn't help that it's so large that it doesn't fit into a single screen (on my monitor). With apologies aforehand, I tried redoing it as a B/W image focusing on textures and tonality, with quite a bit of sharpening, and also burning in the upper left corner where it was getting washed out:
Still not sure how well it works, but in my eyes, it works better than as a color image.

That cannot be 100% from an E330, as Phil said that camera suffers from the jaggies at 100% crop. Yet this image displays no jaggies, that I can see anyway, even with all the angles thrown up by all those pine needles crossing each other. Next time put the focus ON the needles and not the overturned pot, and we can get a far better perspective of these jaggies. Thanks Mike.

Most people do not understand this. I've seen some reviewers who don't even understand this. They will praise a camera for high iso performance while shooting under daylight conditions or with studio lighting. If you want to see how well a camera can handle low light, try shooting under artificial indoor lighting without a flash where the shutter speed is around 1/50 sec or less. If you're going to use a flash anyway, then there's generally not much need to shoot at ISO1600. For times when flash photography is not desireable or even prohibited, people will begin to have better appreciation for true high iso performance. Just my $0.02. -Norm

Does it suck? Well, that's a little harsh, I think, but there are a few problems with shot...
First off, the photo is compositionally ambiguous. There are several things just sort of lurking near the left-center, namely, a carved or molded plaster/marble/whatever thingy, a colored concrete brick, and a shell, none of which has anything to do with any of the other things, all sort of randomly stuck on a disparate background consisting of pine needles and other organic detritus. None of the elements are similar enough to each other to create a theme, nor are they different enough (even metaphorically) to make a statement, at least no statement I can see.
Secondly, the exposure isn't handled very well. I would have checked the exposure post-shot, particularly the histogram, and would have noticed the blown-out hightlights on the shell, blowouts which have no artistic or compositional purpose that I can see. To ameliorate this reflection, you could have tried a polarizer to mask the specular reflection coming off the shell, or you could have set your exposure compensation to about 1 or 1.3EV, spot-metered off the bright part of the shell, set flash compensation to -2EV or so and tried a fill-flash shot. A reflector of some sort directed to the dark areas might have been better, though, or a diffuser to soften the hightly-directional incoming light.
Had I been out walking and encoutered these things, I might have snapped off a shot, too, but I don't really see a lot here worth playing around with to make a print worthwhile.
