1. At small sizes I see no noise. 2. Just tell people it's film grain. Very appropriate for this kind of shot. 3. Black & white conversion is the perfect thing to do with noisy photos. 4. Flickr says you shot this at f/3.2 and ISO 1600. If you had opened up to maximum speed for the lens, f/1.8, you could have gone with 1-2/3 stops slower ISO, which would probably eliminate the noise, something like ISO 400 or 500. Same deal with the 1/100 shutter speed, you could have increased it to 1/50 and again reduced ISO to lessen noise. 5. I played with it in Topaz Adjust Photoshop plug in and it reduced the noise really well.
Yes it doesn't look noisy on the blog, but it is when I played with it in PSE.
I do shoot wide open alot, to decrease the ISO, but I have had a real problem lately focusing on their eyes when it is at f/1.8. Plus he was jumping on the bed and moving like crazy. So I wanted my shutter as high as I could with out being wide open. Thus the higher ISO.
Shooting in M is tricky with a 2 year old :) Don't be fooled by the stillness of the photo, he was only like that for 5-10 sec!
I need to learn more about PSE and how to use it! Library here I come :)
Do an interlibrary loan to get this one, or find the appropriate book for the version of PSE you use, they keep updating it. These books are the best. http://www.amazon.com/Photoshop-Elements-Digital-Photographers-Voices/dp/0321660331/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263009676&sr=8-1

I love this one! I don't know what you're talking about with noise stuff but I guess I am clueless about the photography lingo!
