•  Support jpg artifacts and posterization on background, oversharpening filter applied (camera or software) --The Photographer 14:43, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment Looked good to me @The Photographer: , but new version uploaded with zero sharpening and better NR on background. Charles (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

The posterization still there. My recommendation is to separate the bird and the background in two layers, applying Gaussian blur to the background only and being very careful not to create a shaded edge. Look in the history of this file how @Biopics: applied this technique. --The Photographer 16:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Charlesjsharp I uploaded a new version with the noise reduction on the background, however I rollback this version, if you are agree you can let this version on top. --The Photographer 01:13, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

thank you; your version good. Charles (talk) 10:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Support the bird's great, background issues are neglectable... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:15, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support per Martin. I really don't give a damn about the background, which IMO is good enough. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:31, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Support The edit certainly improved the background, which was noisy even just full-screen. Also better exposure levels. There's still a small amount of colour noise in the white blobs which your Canon seems to be prone to, so if you are handling the background NR separately, you might want to try increasing the colour NR there, as long as it doesn't interfere with the bird. -- Colin (talk) 16:35, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
