PB190636 copy.jpg

The Carolina Wren is another difficult capture and was on a hanging feeder about 10' from the window, I was sitting at the table about 9' away.
This shot was one of the first taken, and wasn't focused well, it seemed like a good one to attempt to post-process.
Taken with the TCON17 in Macro mode, with a contrast and saturation settings boost.
After this I decided leaving all these settings at 0 produces a lot less color noise and a better exposure.
After extensive post-processing including an approx. 71% crop, I am not satisfied.

The body/wing area of the bird seems to be a little soft, but really a very acceptable shot imo.
