Another Yellow Warbler image from this past April. I probably used audio. The color of the sky looks a little off to me but I can't figure out how to correct it.
I'm going to blame my partial color blindness.

Jack, love yellow Warblers. Excited for spring to come already!
So again, for me this feels just a touch too smooth. Hate to beat the same drum but my personal flavor is usually I won't go over 13 or 14 in Denoise and often under 10. Not sure where you ran this one but it just feels the slightest bit unnatural for me. Looks like you had enough detail to start with though; appears a sharp file.
Might could take a look at bringing the subject up in frame a scootch? Would love some bkg other than blue sky ideally as well.
Color and detail are excellent. I love how everything from the eyes to feet is in perfect focus. Great eye contact! I would lower the saturation, and I agree with Dan about walking back the NR. You're losing feather detail with it.
