Hi David. I like the pose and head turn and the perch is appropriate for the size of this guy. The plumage on the bird looks awfully noisy which seems odd for that iso and camera. I think the fine feather detail is getting confused with noise by the software and it’s having trouble figuring out what’s what. Could you post the noise reduction/sharpening process you used on this one-maybe the community can figure out something that works better. You could also upload the original or another frame near it into the processing challenge.
