You've really captured that beautifully Mike. The light and the details really make that very regal bird special.
Surveying it's kingdom.
Beautiful.

Thank you so much for your very gracious comments, Richard! They are much appreciated.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Is it Denoise 6 or Denoise AI?

I'm using AI myself.

I just bought Topaz DeNoise AI. It's quite a bit better than the Topaz DeNoise 6 I've had for a long time.

I was using Neat Image for years but have removed the plugin from PS now.
