Just had a couple of days away visiting one of my favourite places Skomer,  a little Island off the Pembrokeshire coast where Puffins, Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots, Kittiwakes, Fulmar and many other birds fill the sky and the airwaves.  Puffins have right of way over all the paths and you really need to stick to them or the danger of collapsing their burrows is very real.  CL + EF 200mm

 

 

 

Extraordinary

A bit of postprocessing helps... ACR, hit Auto, in PS use Topaz denoise AI, then use Topaz Sharpen AI, select the Dragonfly, use Out Of Focus very Noisy on Auto (a few artefacts as it was a small JPG.. Raw would be much better, especially if you used Enhance to double the resolution before cropping)

jaapv, I’ve never heard of Topaz but I’ll look for it. Please remember, this tiny creature was flying forward and the TL 18-56 @ 56 is a pretty slow lens. I do appreciate your helpfulness and experience.

Jaap, do you ever find you lose colour profiles or edits when you move a file between ACR, PS and the Topaz Denoise/ Sharpen AI plugins - or when you export from DNG to JPEG? I use Lightroom (not Classic), and the Denoise/ Sharpen and GigaPixel standalone apps and haven't managed to find a good reliable workflow to integrate the features of each without losing something in the mix

Of all the millions of images of that bridge, I’ve never seen one like this. Great.
