    Here's another shot of the daytime Barn Owl from the same burst "4fps :-( " This is cropped from 36mpx to 27mpx. I followed Steve Kaluski's great advice and added a B/W copy of the blue channel and selectively erased it to accentuate the wing back light. NR with Noiseware Pro, sharpened with USM. C&C welcome.

    this one has a great pose but heavy noise reduction has smeared the feather details quite a bit...

    Dan, I agree with Arash, unless this was a huge crop, you did not need NR at all in this photo.
    The BG and the bird should not need any. I use no NR on the bird ever, even at
    ISO 6400.
    Nice eye contact and still I would love to have a daylight shot of this owl.
