Anyone used this for their editing? what's your thoughts of the software?

Ooh nice, which program from the NIK collection did you use? I only use Silver FX Pro 2 for B&W conversion, but should try some of the others.

Very nice.

I sometimes use the Nik plugin for Lightroom.

I used the Dfine 2 for the noise reduction, but I've played around with the sharpening tools aswell, found a really good tutorial, but have never gotten round to trying it out properly. I much prefer using Dfine 2 for noise reduction than using LRs adjustment brush.

The background color really makes those eyes stand out even more.

Nice image, very subtle coloration on the bird's plumage and eye.

Thanks, I made this effort to try and get a less distracting background when I shot these.
