Hello Arun,

Beautiful picture of this bird, it's only a bit noisy, especially in the dark parts of the picture.
Also the composition is not good. Place the bird more to the left of the picture, so you have more space at the right. On the side of the beak you should have the most space.

Greetings,

Wim

Nice to hear from you after a long time, Wim. I always appreciate your critique. As for the noise I am really not so sure which is the best way to reduce it. Neatimage no doubt does it well, but I guess you lose some amount of details as well.

Greetings,

Arun

Hello Arun,

I would use the neat image tool to remove the noise. Make first a noise profile and after that you can reduce the noise. You can set the amount of noise you want to remove.

Greetings Wim
