Off topic because this was taken with the u4/3. I was almost home from a bike ride yesterday and saw a hawk flying across the road with a squirrel. I made all sorts of rookie mistakes which caused me to lose what would have been the best photos. I didn’t change the ISO from base (200) which I had been using for the sunny landscape. I also didn’t set the focus to single point, so it Looked like it was selecting the bird when it was selecting the leaves behind the bird. Anyways, here is the base shot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/52930880399/in/album-72177720308610941/ here it is with LR denoise: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/52933253792/in/album-72177720308610941/ I would say that for this shot, the difference is noticeable, but not miraculous. Since Ann will likely want to look at the rest of the album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720308610941 I included several “blown” frames of another bird harassing the hawk. Since I hadn’t been very good about changing from the tank top to a T-shirt when I should of, it turned out that the hawk wasn’t the only one who was red shouldered. And while I’m off topic, the rest of the photos from the ride, some showing my new to me bike, a humming bird on a wire, and some burros. Also a strange bright blue ball which I think must be some rotting foam ball, but which almost looks like some weird fungus. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720308632638 -- Larry Colen lrc@red4est.com sent from ret13est

I've done some awesome noise reduction with Denoise, but they were horribly noisey images to begin with. bill
