Wahooo! Pool PARTY!!!

[jeffashman]

This Grackle was having a lot of fun in the bird bath. The image was on the dark side due to the shutter speed being at 6400 and it being overcast and fixing to rain, the first rain in a couple of months, and a relief from the triple digit heat. PP did a decent job of removing the noise. (DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI, Lightroom, Photo Shop Elements) No cropping.

Sigma 150-600mm f/6.3 1/6400 at approx. 388mm.

Nice shots and they look perfectly clean! The denoising tools are so good these days.

Looks like it's having fun, and cooling off nicely. Really nice shots under the circumstances.
