Processed chickadee by shesnapped

Processed chickadee

This is the processed version of the below linked original. Still noisy and just without detail due, I think, to the high ISO and too-high shutter speed. But mostly due to the ISO is what I think. I don't think this is camera club competition worthy, sadly, but would welcome constructive criticism!!!

Original is here:

@joansmor @vignouse Would love commentary from both of you on these two photos!

I actually can't see the noise! It looks so real being up close and catching the feathering detail!

I like the original better.. the top right white feathers are a bit too hot for competition

The green background suffers the most so for that I would agree with Jane. Can I ask what Program you used. And slap my hand if I insult but you know to reduce noise almost at the end and never sharpen before you reduce Noise.

I don't see any noise at all. Truthfully, I can't tell much difference in the two. Maybe my eyes are not critical enough. I love them both.

@joansmor I used LR and PS for all my normal stuff, and Nik Define to reduce the noise. After I posted these here, I did actually go into the Topaz freebie that I have and played in there a little. I could jazz it up somewhat and submit it in Abstract/Creative, but I SO had my heart set on the Nature category!

The chickadee pops better here but perhaps a lower iso might be better.

Then use the select and mask in PS to mask the bird and remove the noise on background and the combine like Jane says. Your bird not so noisey

Found a nice juicy worm! The worm reminds me of Heimlich in the Pixar animated movie, "A Bug's Life""
