A very cooperative Osprey

[coastalconn]

Thanks for all the kind words...

this might sound odd, but I'd love to see the first one without any noise reduction done on it. it feels like we're losing something in the feathers especially around the neck...

I've been on a 'no noise reduction' kick with my own images recently and I kinda like it, for some reason noise doesn't bother me as much as it once did...well luminance noise at least, color noise is a little different...

As requested NR set to 0, default sharpening in LR 4..

looks about the same to me, but I still dig it. once they get POTM for October up I'm totally nominating it.

I think the one you posted earlier looks better imo, has just a smidge more definition or detail. Barely noticeable side by side though.

Woohoo! Thanks Aloicious!

hah I just realized that my stupid corporate firewall I'm on is blocking the zero NR one (not sure why its only that one), so I was comparing the original to the original. I'll need to open this on my home network and take a look at it.

OK finally able to see it, yeah they're still similar I do prefer the original too.
