Looks like noise.
At 300% I could show you some of my processed ISO 100 5D II files that have noise as well, and for sure from my Nikon D2x. Pixel peeping at those sizes can make a lot of files appear noisy. My criteria is how the look at 50% on my Mac and how they look printed at 300 DPI.
The pixel peeping route can only lead to the kinds of comments and criticisms that have little or nothing to do with the image itself. Take a look at the latest book from National Geographic that spans decades of photography. You\'ll see page after page of noise, soft focus, grain, blown highlights, loss of shadow detail, etc. that would make some in this crowd shriek in horror.
I would maintain that there\'s a lot about the swan image that\'s been overlooked ... particularly since it comes from a small sensor camera.
